Abstract

HIV destroys T-cells in order to target the body's defence mechanism. Without treatment HIV infection advances in stages causing destruction and reduction in T-cells thus, rendering the body incapable of fighting other infections such as respiratory infections, sexually transmitted diseases and some cancers. Kaposi’s sarcoma is the cancer that allows a tumour to grow in an HIV patient and its presence in a patient is an indication that HIV has fully developed into AIDS in the patient. Research has indicated that AIDS-associated Kaposi Sarcoma was on the rise in sub-Saharan Africa until the introduction of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). The Kenyan community has struggled in the past decade to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS and successes have been recorded in many areas. However, Kaposi Sarcoma, an opportunistic infection, has continued to rise steadily through the years. In this study, a simple model for the coinfection of HIV/AIDS and KS is developed and studied. The model solution is explored for positivity and boundedness while the DFE point is determined for stability where it was verified that the infection-free equilibrium E0 is locally asymptotically stable when . The NGM is used to derive the basic reproduction number of the model. By providing treatment to the HIV and the co-infected population immune system is strengthened and thus progression rate to AIDS is reduced.
