    <p>For the treatment regimen of primary interest (blue diagram), the adherence model dictates the daily intake of ART. Through a pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) model, the plasma drug concentration and drug effect are determined. Drug effect influences the inter-dependent and time-evolving plasma HIV-1 RNA level and CD4+ T cell count in the basic HIV-1 dynamics model (HIV-D). For treatment regimens of secondary interest (orange diagram), a discrete event simulation model (DES) determines the plasma HIV-1 RNA level over time. Using the dynamics of the HIV-D model, CD4+ T cell counts are updated accordingly.</p

    <p>Left: Logarithmic measure of inhibition (F<sub>wt</sub>) as a function of drug concentration (percentage of maximum concentration, log<sub>10</sub>-scale), for drugs RPV, FTC and TDF alone (green lines) and predictions of the combined effect of RPV+FTC+TDF by the Bliss, Loewe and DI model. For the DI model, a hypothetical index 0.5 of degree of independence was assumed. The vertical grey dashed line represents the inhibition potential at maximum concentration for all three drugs. Right: Logarithmic measure of inhibition (F<sub>wt</sub>) as a function of days, based on the Bliss, Loewe and DI model combined effect predictions. Simulations are representative of triple combination ART initiation with RPV+FTC+TDF, for a patient 100% adherent to therapy, except for a treatment interruption of 15 days, starting at day 50. After 15 days, a level of only 50% inhibition, represented by the horizontal grey dashed line, starts being approached.</p

    Evolution of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4+ T cell counts in an untreated subject.

    <p>Left: Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels as a function of time, simulated by the HIV-D model accounting for disease progression. Right: corresponding CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell counts. The model simulates the 3 typical stages of HIV-1 infection: acute infection, clinical latency and AIDS phase. Dashed grey lines represent the HIV-D model without disease progression, the stable-state solution of which is exploited to introduce between-patient variability in plasma cell concentrations.</p
