本文使用与治疗项目合作收集的纵向调查数据，估计抗逆转录病毒治疗的经济影响。研究了两个结果的反应：（1）接受治疗的成年艾滋病患者的劳动力供给;（2）患者家庭中个人的劳动力供给。在治疗开始后的六个月内，患者参与劳动力的可能性增加了20%，每周工作时间增加了35%。治疗开始后，接受治疗的患者家庭中的男孩工作量明显减少，而女孩和成年家庭成员的劳动力供应没有改变。
Using longitudinal survey data collected in collaboration with a treatment program, this paper estimates the economic impacts of antiretroviral treatment. The responses in two outcomes are studied: (1) labor supply of treated adult AIDS patients; and (2) labor supply of individuals in patients' households. Within six months after treatment initiation, there is a 20 percent increase in the likelihood of the patient participating in the labor force and a 35 percent increase in weekly hours worked. Young boys in treated patients' households work significantly less after treatment initiation, while girls and adult household members do not change their labor supply.
