‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce fractional-order into a model of HIV-1 infection of CD4^+ T--cells‎. ‎We study the effect of ‎the changing the average number of viral particles $N$ with different sets of initial conditions on the dynamics of‎ ‎the presented model‎. ‎ ‎The nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme is implemented‎ ‎to study the dynamic behaviors in the fractional--order HIV-1‎ ‎...
