Uptake rate applied to approximate total of remaining people eligible for testing in specific year, reference case analysis: e.g., year 1: 183,547 × 0.01 = 1,835; year 2: (186,512 – 1,835) × 0.02 = 3,694. Those tested in prior years are subtracted from population in following years, as cost of test is applied only once over a person's lifetime.99
