HIV Cost Calculator: Optimal Testing Strategies & Budget Analysis

Welcome to the HIV cost calculator, a valuable tool to analyze different testing strategies and budget considerations in HIV screening. Compare sensitivity, specificity, false positive, false negative rates, positive predictive value, and total costs in varying prevalence settings. Evaluate the justifiability of more expensive tests and recommend optimal strategies under different circumstances. Calculate the affordability of screening the population of Uganda within a specific budget limit set by the US Congress. Access cost calculator parts A and B, view references, and explore assignment questions for comprehensive analysis.

  1. Homework 12 Welcome to the HIV cost calculator A tool to assist in answering the question "Why not test everyone?"

  2. Assignment Questions • Compare two different testing strategies. For each, list the sensitivity, specificity, false positive, false negative, positive predictive value, and total cost in both a high and low prevalence setting. Is the cost of the more expensive one justifiable? Which strategy would you recommend under what circumstances? • In 2002, the US Congress spent $143,800,000.00 on the CDC Global AIDS program. How inexpensive would your screening test have to be (with a sensitivity of 99.9% and specificity of 99.9%) to be able to screen the population of Uganda (25,632,794) which has a prevalence of 5% and not be over budget for the entire CDC Global AIDS program?
