Results: Six scenarios of harm reduction scale up and ART efficacy in preventing HIV transmission

Scenario Incidence, PWID Incidence, PLHIV Deaths among PLHIV Total QALYs
Observed scale-up of harm reduction, 50% ART efficacy S1 2,324 7,987 3,720 52,570,329
Observed scale-up of harm reduction, 0% ART efficacy S2 2,861 8,718 3,856 52,569,855
No scale-up in harm reduction, 50% ART efficacy S3 3,811 9,782 3,980 52,561,200
No scale-up in harm reduction, 0% ART efficacy S4 4,927 11,191 4,181 52,560,486
Observed scale-up of OAT, 0% ART efficacy, no NDP S5 4,498 10,701 4,084 52,569,012
Observed scale-up of NDP, 0% ART efficacy, no OAT S6 3,001 8,885 3,929 52,563,104

Estimated effect of harm reduction and ART, 50% efficacy S4 - S1 2,602 3,204 461 9,843
Estimated effect of harm reduction, with no ART efficacy S4 - S2 2,065 2,473 325 9,369
Estimated effect of ART in the absence of harm reduction, 50% ART efficacy S4 - S3 1,116 1,409 200 714
Estimated effect of OAT, with no NDP and no ART efficacy S4 - S5 429 490 96 8,526
Estimated effect of NDP, with no OAT and no ART efficacy S4 - S6 1,925 2,307 252 2,618

Efficacy of ART in the prevention of parenteral HIV transmission only; effects on disease progression and sexual (homo- and heterosexual) transmission are according to published standards; NDP represents needle distribution program.
