  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?
