Figure 6
Bifurcation diagrams of our model of the uninfected T cells and ROS. A solid line implies a stable equilibrium and a dashed line implies an unstable equilibrium. In (a), we indicate the maximum attainable stable concentration of uninfected cells, xmax (dotted black line). The dotted horizontal line in (b) indicates the ROS level observed in non-IDU control individuals. We denote the ROS concentration for which the disease-free equilibrium becomes stable with the grey box.
