HIV Care in Portugal
The Portuguese National Health Service provides universal coverage for HIV care (including free access to HIV testing and ART) via a national network of public primary care centers and hospitals.
In 2011, the Portuguese Parliament adopted a resolution calling for voluntary, routine population-based HIV testing, counseling and referral (HIV-TCR).
Portugal faces numerous challenges in implementing this resolution.

Objective
To evaluate the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of routine HIV screening in Portuguese adults (vs. current practice), focusing on the regional heterogeneity in burden of disease.
We examined three different strategies: One-time screening Screening every 3 years Annual screening
Cost-Effectiveness of Preventing AIDS Complications (CEPAC), a widely published Monte Carlo simulation model of the detection, natural history and treatment of HIV disease.

World Health Organization Commission on Macroeconomics and Health guidance:
“Cost-effective” if the CE ratio is less than three times the per capita GDP for a given country.
Portuguese GDP per capita is 16,300€, implying a threshold = 48,900 €/QALY.
Portuguese Infarmed “informal threshold” for cost-effectiveness of innovative drugs: ICER < 30,000 €/QALY.

Risk Group Results - IDU(Undiagnosed Prevalence = 6.69%, Annual Incidence = 0.09%)
A simulation model of HIV screening and disease that combines input data from disparate sources and relies on multiple assumptions.
Impact of expended HIV screening on disease transmission was not considered.
“Cost-effective” ≠ “Affordable”. Budget impact analysis will be a useful next step to understand effects on individual stakeholders.
Limitations
Summary and Conclusion
Overall, one-time screening of the national Portuguese population: is “borderline cost-effective” by informal Portuguese
national standards is cost-effective by WHO standards.
Given the economic crisis as well as the higher disease burden in certain regions, we recommend initiating routine screening in high-prevalence regions first.
More frequent HIV screening may be considered in both high-risk populations (IDUs, MSM) and high-prevalence regions.
