Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the cost effectiveness of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) monitoring strategies. Among the strategies studied are the symptom-based strategies, CD4-based strategies and CD4 counts. Viral load strategies for highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) are also included in the study. The analysis and assumptions were made using clinical and cost data from Southern Africa. According to the authors, CD4 monitoring and initiation of HAART are effective in reducing health care expenditures in South Africa.
