Abstract: This paper describes the simulation model of HIV transmission using an agent-based modeling method with network type to consider the multiple sexual partners of the arbitrary population of 10,0000 MSM. Based on ground data, parameters were identified, such as the transmission risk rate, anal sex activity rate, and unsafe sex practice rate. In 6 months of simulation coverage, the model could simulate the transmission and record the counts of individuals getting infected with the virus. The process flow of the model described herein, and the initial results can be used to strengthen mechanisms how to prevent the spread among MSM.
