摘要: The HIV/AIDS epidemic has been a major concern for health department of every government. For no cure has been found yet, the emphasis is on prevention. In order to organize prevention, governments have set up different campaigns that tend to be more or less successful. The way to lead a campaign is strongly related with the cultural background of a population. This difference of background leads to give a model of a social population using different parameters. In this research, we propose to assess the impact of social behaviors on HIV/AIDS epidemic. To do so, we build an agent based computer simulation that implement a model of sexual network and implement also a set of individual social behavior. The objective is to try to reproduce the epidemic curve of HIV/AIDS in the male homosexual community in Taiwan. We want to assess the influence of different policies on the social behavior of each individual and the consequences on the spreading of the epidemic. The purpose of this computer simulation is first to build an artificial social network representative of the high risk homosexual community.
