Abstract

An epidemiological model depicting the dynamics of campus sex among students is analyzed in this study. For the purpose of this research, sexual activities among students is considered as a disease called SESEX. The Susceptible - Infected - Recovered (SIR) model is used in analyzing the dynamics in this scenario. Two equilibrium points were found, a disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium point. The model suggests that, admitting new students without the infection plays a significant role in the reduction of SESEX on campus. Thus, minimizing recruitment of infected students reduces the spread of the disease.
