We assessed the cost-effectiveness of determining new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnoses using rapid HIV testing performed by community-based organizations (CBOs) in Kansas City, Missouri, and Detroit, Michigan. Methods. The CBOs performed rapid HIV testing during April 2004 through March ...
Testing IDU every 6 months compared with annually was moderately cost effective over a 1-year period with a fourth-generation test, while testing with rapid, point-of-care tests or quarterly was not cost effective. MSM results remained robust in sensitivity analysis, whereas IDU results were ...

Many states offer rapid HIV testing for free or at a reduced cost. Visiting a clinic or healthcare provider’s office for POC testing may ensure proper coverage. However, if you purchase ahome testonline or at a pharmacy, health insurance or Medicaid may not cover the cost. What Tests Can...
A second proposed strategy uses a competitive ELISA as the second test but these assays cannot detect HIV-2 infection. The authors pooled the samples to illustrate cost saving but pooling data loses sensitivity especially for rapid tests. Virologists from Hospital Bichat-Claude Bernard in Paris ...
CostINR 900 Purpose of the HIV Blood Test HIV can remain asymptomatic for years, making early detection crucial. The purpose of the HIV test is to detect the presence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) so that treatment can be started timely. The HIV antibody test helps determine the...
Besides individual self-testing, other potential uses of rapid home HIV test kits include distributing them, and testing with others within one's social or sexual networks. We sought to identify factors associated with the willingness to engage in these alternative activities among men who have sex...
A high proportion of MSM in Beijing appear to be willing to use the oral fluid HIV rapid test. Appropriate cost and education measures could help improve acceptance of the oral fluid test. 展开 关键词: Research Report Cross Sectional Analysis Men Having Sex With Men HIV Testing HIV Infections...
However, new HIV infections continue to occur and the result is a rapid annual increase in the total number of people who are infected. This has led, in part, to a dramatic rise in the cost of health services for people with HIV, notably within the California AIDS Drug Assistance Program...
