Increasing survival time decreases the cost-effectiveness of using "test & treat to eliminate HIV epidemics
Treating HIV-infected individuals reduces their viral load, consequently increasing their survival time and decreasing their infectivity.It has been proposed that universal testing and treatment (i.e., universal ``test & treat'') could lead to HIV elimination and would be extremely...
