Abstract

In this paper we propose a model of HIV population through method of phases with non-Markovian evolution of immigration. The analysis leads to an explicit differential equations for the generating functions of the total population size. The detection process of antibodies (against the antigen of virus) is analysed and an explicit expression for the correlation functions are provided. A measure of bunching is also introduced for some particular choice of parameters.
