Background: The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel intelligent model for AIDS/HIVdata based on expert system and using it for developing an intelligent medical consultingsystem for AIDS/HIV. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive research, 752 frequently askedquestions (FAQs) about AIDS/HIV are gathered from numerous websites about this disease. Toperform the data mining and extracting the intelligent model, the 6 stages of Crisp method hasbeen completed for FAQs. The 6 stages include: Business understanding, data understanding,data preparation, modelling, evaluation and deployment. C5.0 Tree classification algorithm isused for modelling. Also, rational unified process (RUP) is used to develop the web‑basedmedical consulting software. Stages of RUP are as follows: Inception, elaboration, constructionand transition. The intelligent developed model has been used in the infrastructure of thesoftware and based on client’s inquiry and keywords related FAQs are displayed to the client,according to the rank. FAQs’ ranks are gradually determined considering clients reading it.Based on displayed FAQs, test and entertainment links are also displayed. Result: The accuracyof the AIDS/HIV intelligent web‑based medical consulting system is estimated to be 78.76%.Conclusion: AIDS/HIV medical consulting systems have been developed using intelligentinfrastructure. Being equipped with an intelligent model, providing consulting services onsystematic textual data and providing side services based on client’s activities causes theimplemented system to be unique. The research has been approved by Iranian Ministry ofHealth and Medical Education for being practical.
