Cost-effectiveness frontier for all strategies. PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis; QALY, quality-adjusted life years. Zone 1 (areas above the red dashed line): Interventions located in zone 1 cost more than three times per capita gross domestic product per QALY gained, and are defined as not cost effective. Zone 2 (areas between the red dashed line and the blue dashed line): Interventions located in zone 2 cost between one and three times per capita gross domestic product per QALY gained, and are defined as cost effective [40, 41]. Zone 3 (areas below the blue dashed line): Interventions located in zone 3 cost less than per capita gross domestic product per QALY gained, and are defined as very cost effective [40, 41]. The black dashed line represents the optimal cost-effectiveness path.
