Improving the Allocative Efficiency of the HIV Response Across the HIV Testing andTreatment Cascade in Zimbabwe : Findings from an Optima HIV Modelling Analysis
In an effort to improve the efficiencyof the HIV response in Zimbabwe, the World Bank incollaboration with the Government of Zimbabwe and the BurnetInstitute conducted a mathematical modelling analysis usingthe Optima HIV mathematical model(http://optimamodel.com/hiv) to: 1) provide national andprovincial HIV acquisition and transmission estimates andpatterns from 2000 to 2017 and predict future trends to 2030(Phase 1) and 2) identify opportunities for optimizingresource allocation across the HIV treatment cascade throughdifferent implementation options for HIV testing andtreatment services (differentiated HIV care) (Phase 2). Thispolicy brief provides a summary of the key findings andpolicy recommendations from this study.
