Abstract: In this study, we consider a system of nonlinear differential equations modeling the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 ( HIV -1) in a variable environment. Infected cells were subdivided into two compartments describing both latently and productively infected cells. Thus, three routes of infection were considered including the HIV -to-cell contact, latently infected cell-to-cell contact, and actively infected cell-to-cell contact. The nonnegativity and boundedness of the trajectories of the dynamics were proved. The basic reproduction number was determined through an integral operator. The global stability of steady states is then analyzed using the Lyapunov theory together with LaSalle’s invariance principle for the case of a fixed environment. Similarly, for the case of a variable environment, we showed that the virus-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable once R 0 ≤ 1 , while the virus will persist once R 0 > 1 . Finally, some numerical examples are provided illustrating the theoretical investigations.
