Through this scientific workshop, participants will understand findings and implications of cost-effectiveness and impact models; and leave with comprehension of costing, cost-effectiveness, impact modelling and the ability to interpret and communicate results. Lessons learned from country experiences using costing and cost-effectiveness to allocate funding towards efficient testing strategies will be shared. Lastly, participants will increase their ability to synthesize costing and cost-effectiveness data to inform development and implementation of high-impact HIV testing in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
