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.
利用与一个治疗项目合作收集的纵向调查数据，本文估计了抗逆转录病毒治疗的经济影响。研究了两个结果方面的反应：（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。在开始治疗后的六个月内，患者参与劳动力市场的可能性增加了20%，每周工作小时数增加了35%。接受治疗患者家庭中的年轻男孩在开始治疗后工作显著减少，而女孩和成年家庭成员的劳动力供给没有变化。
