    abstract = {HIV transmission among the population is highly perceptible in sexual intercourse. Agent-based
simulation model is used in this study to simulate the HIV transmission model. This model is based on the
assumption that HIV-infected individual will conduct safe intercourse and 100% effective condom use.
Agent-based simulation provides information of a simulation process by analyzing the behaviors and
interactions of the agents in four aspects: coupling tendency, average commitment, condom use and test
frequency each year. Analysis results on average coupling tendency and average commitment variables
indicated change in the individual’s behavior which may contribute to the escalation of HIV transmission rate.
Meanwhile, exploration on average condom use and average test variables provided solution for HIV
transmission. Optimal condition for HIV transmission model can be reached by increasing individual average
to conduct HIV test and condom use average during intercourse to avoid further transmission.}
