Programmatic cost evaluation of nontargeted opt-out rapid HIV screening in the emergency department.
The researchers estimated the total direct costs associated with performing nontargeted opt-out rapid HIV screening in the emergency department per newly-identified HIV-infected patients and compared such costs to those associated with diagnostic rapid HIV testing. They found that compared to diagnostic testing, nontargeted opt-out rapid HIV screening was more costly but identified more HIV infections.
