The economic impact of AIDS may be especially severe in developing nations because of the additional burden on scarce health care resources and the potential loss of human capital. We describe a methodology for estimating the direct and indirect costs of HIV infection. Our approach is designed for the typical environment of international economic consulting, where time is short, and data sparse. We focus on HIV rather than AIDS because the only way now known to prevent AIDS is to prevent HIV infection.
由于艾滋病给稀缺的医疗资源带来额外负担以及可能造成人力资本损失，其对发展中国家的经济影响可能尤为严重。我们描述了一种估算艾滋病毒感染直接和间接成本的方法。我们的方法是针对国际经济咨询的典型环境设计的，在这种环境下时间紧迫且数据稀少。我们关注的是艾滋病毒而非艾滋病，因为目前已知预防艾滋病的唯一方法就是预防艾滋病毒感染。
