Abstract
We summarize the costs per test incurred by the U.S. Army since the establishment of programs to test for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 1985. These costs are now less than $2.50 per serum specimen, as compared with typical commercial charges elsewhere in the United States of $15 for screening and $50 for confirmatory testing.Keywords
