An HIV‐infection model is proposed, its global stability of the disease free equilibrium is studied, and existence of the endemic equilibria is analyzed. The observed data in a city in China is used to determine the parameters in the model using the least‐squares approach. The theoretical prediction agrees well with the data available from a local government agency in the city.
