General schematic of model reflecting uninfected cells (U), productively infected cells (P) and latently infected cells (L). λ represents target T cell production. β reflects virus infectivity. αR is the rate of reversion for productively infected cells to latency. αQ is the activation rate of latently infected cells. Uninfected, productively infected and latently infected cells each have intrinsic death rates represented by δU, δP and δL, respectively.
