A New Mathematical Model for Assessing Therapeutic Strategies for HIV Infection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The requirements for the eradication of HIV in infected individuals are unknown. Intermittent administration of the immune activator interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) in combination with highly‐active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been suggested as an effective strategy to realize long‐term control of HIV replication in vivo . However, potential latent virus reservoirs are considered to be a major impediment in achieving this goal. In this paper, a new mathematical model is designed and used to monitor the interactions between HIV, CD4+ T‐cells, CD8+ T‐cells, productively infected and latently infected CD4+ T‐cells, and to evaluate therapeutic strategies during the first 3 years of HIV infection. The model shows that current anti‐HIV therapies, including intermittent IL‐2 and HAART, are insufficient in achieving eradication of HIV. However, it suggests that the HIV eradication may indeed be theoretically feasible if such therapy is administered continuously (without interruption) under some specified conditions. These conditions may realistically be achieved using an agent (such as a putative anti‐HIV vaccine) that brings about a concomitant increase in the proliferation of HIVspecific CD4+ T‐ and CD8+ T‐cells and the differentiation of CD8+ T‐cells into anti‐HIV cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
