A model with age of infection is formulated to study the possible effects of variable infectivity on HBV transmission dynamics. The stability of equilibria and persistence of the model are analyzed. The results show that if the basic reproductive number $\mathcal{R}_0<1$, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. For $\mathcal{R}_0>1$, the disease is uniformly persistent, and a Lyapunov function is used to show that the unique endemic equilibrium is globally stable in a special case.
Keywords: stability, uniform persistence., age of infection, Mathematical model, hepatitis B.
