Abstract
We analyze the variation of HIV after infection by means of an information measure, called the entropy evolution rate. In our analysis, we use a part of the external glycoprotein gp120 including the V3 region observed from six patients. Then we could make the following two aspects clear; (1) the relation between the change of the entropy evolution rate and the appearance of symptoms of disease, and (2) the relation between the change of the entropy evolution rate and that of the CD4 count of the patients.
