By introducing the reproductive numbers for viral infection R0 and for CTL immune response number R1, we show that R0 and R1 act as threshold parameter for the existence and stability of equilibria. If R0\u22641, the infection-free equilibrium E0 is globally asymptotically stable, and the viruses are cleared; if R1\u22641&lt;R0, the CTL-inactivated equilibrium E1 is globally asymptotically stable, and the infection becomes chronic but without persistent CTL response; if R1&gt;1, the CTL-activated equilibrium E2 is globally asymptotically stable, and the infection is chronic with persistent CTL response. Next, we study the dynamic of the discreted system of our model by using non-standard finite difference scheme. We find that the global stability of the equilibria of the continuous model and the discrete model is not always consistent. That is, if R0\u22641, or R1\u22641&lt;R0, the global stability of the two kinds model is consistent. However, if R1&gt;1, the global stability of the two kinds model is not consistent. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results and show the effects of diffusion factors on the time-delay virus model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms11030129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,13]],"date-time":"2022-03-13T22:29:43Z","timestamp":1647210583000},"page":"129","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A Non-Standard Finite Difference Scheme for a Diffusive HIV-1 Infection Model with Immune Response and Intracellular Delay"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xiao-Lan","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Arts and Science, Suqian University, Suqian 223800, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Cheng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Male, D., Brostoff, J., Roth, D., and Roitt, I.
