An Overview of HIV Modeling: How Mathematics has helped Save Millions of Lives

I will provide a brief overview of the field of HIV modeling and illustrate how modeling has revealed important insights into HIV pathogenesis and treatment. In the later part of the talk, I will summarize where we are with respect to curing HIV and show how nonlinear dynamics may play an important role in understanding whether an infected person can control HIV infection without treatment.
