#

if the cost at any given voluntary medical male circumcision coverage rate is higher than the baseline, the number is positive, which means not economically desirable; if the cost is lower than the baseline, the number is negative, which means economically desirable;

*

total cost at the baseline when λ1=0.0001

@

breakeven point for the economically desirable of voluntary medical male circumcision (when λ=0.001 at the year of 2019).
