Abstract
This study develops mathematical model for the spread of HIV/AIDS by the population is divided into seven sub-populations, namely the susceptible unaware HIV subpopulation, the susceptible aware HIV sub-population, the infected sub-population, the pre-AIDS sub-population, the ARV treatment sub-population, the AIDS sub-population, and unlikely to be infected with HIV/AIDS sub-population. In this mathematical model, two equilibrium points are obtained, namely the disease-free equilibrium point and the disease-endemic equilibrium point and the basic reproduction number . The stability analysis shows that the disease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable if and the disease-endemic equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable if . Numerical simulations of the equilibrium points are carried out to provide an overview of the analyzed results with parameter values from several sources. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the parameters that significantly affect the spread of HIV/AIDS are the contact rate of HIV-unaware individuals with infected individuals and the transmission rate of HIV infection
