Table 4. Funding and net cost of rolling out MC using the public cost model, pooled across 16 countries/settings of sub-Saharan Africa.

Public cost model
Funding (million US$) through year 5
Total (95% PI) 919 (726 to 1 245)
Average per year (95% PI) 184 (145 to 249)
Funding (million US$) years 6–10
Total (95% PI) 158 (126 to 204)
Average per year (95% PI) 32 (25 to 41)
Funding (million US$) through year 10
Total (95% PI) 1 077 (855 to 1 448)
Average per year (95% PI) 108 (86 to 145)
Funding (million US$) through year 20
Value (95% PI) 1 347 (1 070 to 1 784)
Average per year (95% PI) 67 (53 to 89)
Cost per HIV infection averted over 10 years 338 (266 to 456)
Cost per HIV infection averted over 20 years 168 (133 to 223)
Cumulative net cost* (95% PI) in million US$ at 10 years 672 (437 to 1 021)
Cumulative net cost* (95% PI) in million US$ at 20 years −2 274 (−3 318 to −1 416)

PI = percentile interval.

*

Net cost is the program cost minus savings due to averted HIV medical care (million US$; 95% percentile interval in brackets). Negative value indicates net savings.
