A Mathematical Growth Model of the Viral Population in Early HIV-1 Infections
In this thesis we develop a mathematical model to describe HIV-1 evolution during the first stages of infection (approximately within 40-60 days since onset), when one can assume exponential growth and random accumulation of mutations under a neutral drift. We analyze the Hamming distance (HD) distr...
