 AB    With the increasing prevalence of HIV infection/AIDS and the extending
       range of care and treatment, the economic implications of the various
       prevention and control strategies, and of treatment, have become the
       subject of interest to policy-makers, public health specialists and
       health economists. This paper presents an overview of the methods used
       for the economic analysis of AIDS/HIV infection. It proposes an
       activity-oriented, cost center-based model for the costing of the
       economic impact of AIDS, using cost figures in Singapore since 1985,
       when the National AIDS Control Program was started. Priorities for
       future research are also identified.
