Presentation Transcript

  1. The cost-effectiveness of on-site rapid HIV testing in substance abuse treatment: results of the CTN 0032 randomized trial Schackman BR, Metsch LR, Colfax GN, Leff JA, Wong A, Scott CA, Feaster DJ, Gooden L, Matheson T, Mandler RN, Haynes LF, Paltiel AD, WalenskyRP 6th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention July 18, 2011

  2. US National HIV/AIDS Strategy • Target: increase proportion of people living with HIV who know their status from 79% to 90% by 2015 • Implementation: Federally-funded substance abuse and mental health treatment clinics to offer voluntary, routine HIV testing

  3. HIV testing in substance abuse treatment centers • Less than one-third of US drug treatment programs offer HIV testing and counseling • Less than one-half of community treatment programs in the National Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN) make HIV testing available, either in the program or through referral

  4. Objective • To project the life expectancy gains, costs and cost-effectiveness of 3 HIV testing strategies in substance abuse treatment centers evaluated in the CTN Rapid Testing and Counseling Study randomized controlled trial (CTN 0032)

  5. Analytic overview • We used data on short-term outcomes from CTN 0032 (Abstract TUPE402) • To project long-term clinical and economic outcomes, we used the Cost-Effectiveness of Preventing AIDS Complications (CEPAC) model, a computer simulation state-transition model of HIV disease natural history, detection and treatment

  6. Model outcomes • For HIV-infected individuals: • Life expectancy, undiscounted • Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained and cost of additional care due to early detection, discounted at 3% annually • For HIV-uninfected individuals: • Cost of HIV testing offer • All costs are in 2009 US dollars

  7. Cost-effectiveness is about value for money • Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio: • US cost-effectiveness threshold: <$100,000/QALY

  8. Strategies examined • No HIV testing • Offer of referral to off-site HIV testing only • Offer of on-site rapid HIV testing with verbal information about testing only • Offer of on-site rapid HIV testing with risk reduction counseling

  9. Cohort description *estimated

  10. Input parameters by strategy

  11. Base case cost-effectiveness results

  12. Sensitivity analysis: cost-effectiveness of on-site testing + information vs. no intervention

  13. Limitations • Assume HIV+ individuals who receive test results will be linked to care, and consistently receive guideline-concordant care • Potential benefit of reduced HIV transmission due to earlier detection is not included • Additional start-up costs will be required to implement on-site HIV testing

  14. Conclusions • In substance abuse treatment centers: • Referral for off-site testing is less costly but also less efficient than on-site testing • On-site risk reduction counseling adds cost without either reducing sexual risk behavior or increasing acceptance of HIV testing, and is not cost-effective • Offering rapid HIV testing on-site in substance abuse treatment programs is cost-effective using the current US threshold of <$100,000/QALY
