We present a finite-size scaling theory of asynchronous susceptible-infected-
removed model on scale-free networks, which models epidemic outbreaks, and presents a non-
vanishing critical threshold. The susceptible-infected-removed model can be mapped in a bond
percolation process, allowing us to compare the critical behavior of site and bond universality
classes on networks. We employ a droplet heterogeneous mean-field theory, where we add the
effect of an external field defined as the initial number of infected individuals, scaling as N -1 and
compare theoretical results with simulations on the uncorrelated model and Barabasi-Albert
networks.The system presents an epidemic-endemic phase transition where the critical
behavior obeys the mean-field universality class, as we show theoretically and by simulations.
