The cost effectiveness of combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV disease
Article Abstract:
Combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection is cost-effective, according to a mathematical simulation. Although the lifetime costs of treatment per patient increased from $45,460 to $77,300, life expectancy also increased. Consequently, the cost per quality-adjusted year of life gained was between $13,000 and $23,000.

Expanded screening for HIV in the United States - an analysis of cost-effective
Article Abstract:
A computer simulation model of Human immune-deficiency virus (HIV) screening and treatment to compare routine, voluntary HIV counseling, testing, and referrals (HIVCTR) with recent practice in 'high-risk', 'CDC threshold' and 'US general' is developed. In all but lowest-risk populations, routine, voluntary screening for HIV once every three to five years is justified on both clinical and cost-effectiveness grounds.

Cost-effectiveness of HIV treatment in resource-poor settings -- the case of Cote d'Ivoire
Article Abstract:
The cost-effectiveness of different treatment strategies for adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Cote d'Ivoire, a setting with limited resources, is assessed. Studies suggest that a strategy of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis and antiretroviral therapy, with the use of clinical criteria alone or combined with CD4 testing, is the most cost-effective treatment for HIV in settings with limited resources.
