Scenario analysis: ICERs for POC EID compared to conventional EID.

		POC
Conventional		Pessimistic	Intermediate	Optimistic
	Pessimistic	$730	$760	$750
	Intermediate	$590	$720	$720
	Optimistic	Less effective, less expensive*	Less effective, less expensive*	$650

Abbreviations: ICER: incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, in $/year of life saved; POC: point-of-care; EID: early infant HIV diagnosis.

^*POC EID is less effective and less expensive compared to conventional EID.

^**Parameters varied in scenario analyses include EID uptake, result-return (time and probability), probability of ART initiation, assay sensitivity, specificity, and error rate (Appendix, p. 23). Full clinical and economic outcomes for all scenarios available in the Appendix, p. 24.
