Background:

  • Studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dynamics are crucial for understanding HIV infection pathogenesis and evaluating antiviral therapy efficacy.
  • While significant findings in HIV dynamics have been published, statistical methods for parameter estimation remain underdeveloped and inefficient.
  • The study of HIV-1 dynamics in vivo has garnered substantial interest from AIDS clinicians and researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent statistical methods and mathematical models for analyzing HIV dynamic data.
  • To address practical challenges and share experiences in designing and analyzing viral dynamic studies.
  • To provide principles and guidelines for the design and analysis of viral dynamic studies.

Main Methods:
