Cost-effectiveness comparisons for three mobile HCT approaches compared to stand–alone HCT

	Stand-Alone HCT	All Mobile HCT	Community-Site Mobile HCT²	Semi-Mobile Container HCT	Fully- Mobile Truck HCT
Cost-Effectiveness Ratios for Different Outcomes^*
Cost per HCT client	$ 26.75	$ 14.91	$ 8.82	$ 17.23	$ 20.38
Cost per new HCT client	$ 43.69	$ 16.58	$ 9.73	$ 20.06	$ 23.39
Cost per HIV-positive client^†	$ 189.14	$ 157.21	-	-	-
Cost per new HIV-positive clients identified^†	$ 237.60	$ 178.10	-	-	-

Costs reported as 2007 US Dollars and are presented as weighted averages.

^†

HIV-positive clients may include persons who had already tested HIV-positive, whereas new HIV-positive clients identified includes only those who were learning their HIV-positive status for the first time.

Costs per HIV-positive client and per new HIV-positive clients identified not reported for three mobile HCT approaches as results may be influenced by background HIV prevalence not related to the HCT approach.
