背景资料：艾滋病毒感染者的终生护理费用和生活质量估计数取决于这些人被诊断、接受护理和开始抗逆转录病毒治疗的疾病阶段。最新的估计被用来分析晚期与早期诊断/进入对美国终身护理成本，生活质量估计和艾滋病毒传播的影响。艾滋病毒/艾滋病的进展和传播模型用于估计贴现（3%）的终身治疗费用（$US 2011）和10，000名艾滋病毒感染指数患者队列的生活质量变量，从感染时间开始，诊断时的4种CD 4计数：（I）
Background: Lifetime costs of care and quality-of-life estimates for HIV-infected persons depend on the disease stage at which these persons are diagnosed, enter care, and start antiretroviral therapy. Updated estimates were used to analyze the effects of late versus early diagnosis/entry on US lifetime care costs, quality-of-life estimates, and HIV transmissions.Methods: The Progression and Transmission of HIV/AIDS model was used to estimate discounted (3%) lifetime treatment costs ($US 2011) and quality-of-life variables from time of infection for cohorts of 10,000 HIV-infected index patients in 4 categories of CD4 count at diagnosis: (I)
