QUESTION 8

The Chembio test can be used to screen HIV-infected patients for hepatitis C. According to the CDC, the prevalence of HIV and HCV co-infection is approximately 25%. Use the outcome from the screening test (results below) for the Chembio HCV Rapid Test to determine the likelihood that a randomly selected HIV-infected patient will also have an HCV infection given their Chembio HCV Rapid Test returns a positive result. That is, determine P(HCV Infection | Positive Chembio HCV Test).

Round answer to nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. 79.2%).

	Positive Chembio Test Result	Negative Chembio Test Result
Hepatitis C	335	37
No Hepatitis C	15	1153
