In fact, the protocol says that the drugs are administered when the level of CD4 T defense cells is smaller than a fixed number . When the level of CD4 T cells is greater than a fixed number (distinct from ) the drugs are not administered to provide a better recovery from side effects. Moreover, the orbits of the piecewise smooth vector fields are trapped within a compact set, which proves that the protocol controls the disease.engAcesso RestritoPiecewise smooth vector fieldsHuman immunodeficiency virusControl theoryArtigo10.1016/j.nonrwa.2024.104256
