Inhaltsangabe

Maximize HIV testing efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. This book explains how pooled testing can lower testing costs while preserving reliable results. It examines the dilution effect that can occur when samples are combined and how it impacts test sensitivity, especially in blood screening.

- Learn the concepts behind pooling, including how mixed samples are analyzed and how results guide further testing.
- Explore a formal modeling approach that connects test outcomes to antibody levels and pooling decisions.
- See how data from real pooling studies are used to validate methods and to compare cost savings with individual testing.
- Discover strategies for designing multistage testing policies and the practical implications for health programs.

Ideal for researchers, public health professionals, and students seeking a rigorous, data?driven view of pooled testing and its potential impact on HIV screening programs.
