Figure Evolution of probability in a patient suspected of having HIV infection, following consecutive diagnostic steps At the left hand side, probability is shown in percentages, at the right hand side in log odds. Log10 likelihood ratios, rounded to half the unit, are added to the pretest probability. The Lancet 2005 366, DOI: (10.1016/S0140-6736(05)67096-1) Copyright © 2005 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
