What is predictive value?
Predictive value is the calculated probability that a test result predicts whether a person is truly infected. This calculation produces a number that counselors can use in explaining HIV test results to their clients. For example, a higher predictive value means that a reactive test is more likely to indicate the person is truly infected.
