cost effectiveness of hiv prevention
Unit costs declined with the volume of services provided for all three intervention types. The cost-effectiveness of the clinical provider sites was $107,656 per HIV case averted compared with no intervention. Clinical provider sites were less costly and more effective than the specialist or mixed sites. Conclusions: Compared with the lifetime cost of HIV/AIDS care and with other effective HIV prevention interventions, the clinical provider-led interventions in this study are cost-effective. In an incremental comparison with clinical provider sites, specialist and mixed intervention sites were not cost-effective.
1 Without insurance, annual HIV/AIDS treatment costs can cost $14,000-$20,000, according to Michael Kolber, a professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
