HIV testing in Africa: how much does it cost... (6)
---------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Soverow writes, "The tests are not comprehensive, either.
Many patients do not return after six months for a re-test". I am
lost out on this. There sure are limitations with the anti-HIV test
systems, especially relating to the window period. But where in the
world are patients asked to return after 6 months for a re-test if
screening and confirmatory testing is negative? I can do with a ref-
erence please!

Thanks, Geoff Hoare. I am constantly being reminded to think more as
a health economist than just a provider of health services. Your
response is well taken.
