Resumen
Descripción
This study aimed to estimate the
cost-effectiveness and returns on investments of HIV
prevention programs implemented during 2006-2010 and to
identify the optimal allocation of resources across
combinations of programs for an effective HIV prevention
response to inform the prioritization of funding and health
resources in Vietnam. The spending-outcome relationships and
an epidemiological model were used to compare observed
conditions with counterfactual scenarios of reduced or no
programs to calculate the cost-effectiveness and estimate
healthcare costs saved and thus the return on investment.
Model simulations of epidemic projections over many
combinations of possible resource allocations were used to
identify optimal allocations for reducing new infections
over the next HIV budget period.
