Excerpt
A cost analysis was undertaken on a sample of projects representing six broad HIVIAIDS prevention strategies in each of four income groupings (low, low middle, upper middle and former socialist economies). The projects were selected on the basis of availability of data, effectiveness and generalizability. Cost data were abstracted from several published studies or solicited directly from project coordinators using a costing questionnaire. Public sector costs only were included in the analysis and all costs were converted to 1990 US dollars for comparability.
