I've read a few articles over the cost effectiveness of universal testing. They've speculative at best. But, I generally agree with their conclusions. Yes, it would be expensive. Yes, it would require maintenance. It would require monitoring & would be ongoing for the foreseeable future.
However, something like this would get a grasp on just how many people are living with HIV. It would let those people know they are +. It could be used to bring about a slow end to this illness.
It would be very expensive, but less than the constant, ongoing treatment of those living with HIV, now & in the years to come. Universal education, testing & treatment is the only way HIV will end.
Cya...
