(Taiwan), it shows that the number of patients infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)/AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Symptoms) is more than 14,000 in Taiwan, of which the number of military personnel is 2.37%. Although the number of military personnel infected HIV/AIDS tends to reduce gradually in recent years, it is still not to neglect the threat of HIV/AIDS to the military personnel. As facing this problem, we can confront the spreading of HIV/AIDS through the intrinsic cognition factor and the special military scenario behind the military personnel. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to understand the differences between both safety protection measures adopted by the compulsory military personnel for “Occasional Sex Behavior” and “General Sex Behavior”. This research also use Triandis’s Theory of Interpersonal Behavior to survey if it could effectively predict the occasional sex behavior of compulsory military personnel and the safe sex behavior in the scenario of occasional sex behaviors. This research uses Triandis’s Theory of Interpersonal Behavior as its basis. This theory believes that the scenario condition is a main influence source. And, this research thinks that the peer interaction is the most important factor. This research is designed as a cross-sectional survey research. With sampling from some military units, there are totally 463 military officers and soldiers, most of whom have the education background of senior high schools (vocational schools), included in the formal research. For the measurement tool, this research uses a structured questionnaire which is drawn up according to the literature review and the interview result. The result shows that it is easier for the interviewee to take safety protection measures in the “occasional sex behavior” than in “general sex behavior”. With various fitness values passing through the structural equation modeling, it also represents the application of the Theory of Interpersonal Behavior into the behavioral model of military personnel groups can be supported. In addition, for various analyses of this research, it also shows that the compulsory military personnel is easy to be influenced by the peer interaction, which can help us to predict the intentions to have occasional sex behaviors as well as safe sex behaviors and even which is possible to induce the occurrence of occasional sex behaviors.
