A new mathematical model is proposed to describe the interaction between the virus and the immune cells. For this new model, we study the existence of non-negative equilibrium, the bifurcation, the stability of equilibrium. We also carry out numerical simulations to illustrate all possible dynamics. In addition, we numerically explore drug therapy treatment strategies to find the right regimes for the strengths of a therapy, the duration of the treatment so that sustained immunity can be established.
