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. 2012-03-30T07:30:40Z 2012-03-30T07:30:40Z 2008 Journal Article Journal of Human Resources 0022166X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4979 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Kenya
