A virus dynamics model with intracellular state-dependent delay and a general nonlinear infection rate functional response is studied. We consider the case of merely continuous solutions which is adequate to the discontinuous change of parameters due to, for example, drug administration. The Lyapunov functionals technique is used to analyze stability of an interior infection equilibrium which describes the case of both CTL and antibody immune responses activated.
