In this letter, we mainly consider an MSM (men have sex with men) network to analysis how monogamy behavior can influence the transmission of HIV. By calculating and analyzing the basic reproductive number of that network, we find the condition for when the monogamy rate can have a positive influence on controlling the transmission of HIV. Numerical simulations are also done to illustrate that monogamy can influence the transmission process of HIV.
