The Effect of AIDS Risk on Birth Rates" (Job Market Paper) The advent of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s dramatically increased the cost of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Prior research shows that people responded to the AIDS epidemic by switching to sexual behaviors and contraceptive methods with lower likelihood of AIDS transmission. These behavioral adjustments also affect the likelihood of pregnancy and the incidence of other STIs. This paper provides the first evidence that the AIDS epidemic increased the birth rate and decreased the gonorrhea rate. I show that births among adult women increased on average by 0.5 births per 1000 women per year, for a total of 344,000 additional births between 1981 and 2001 due to AIDS avoidance behaviors. My analysis suggests that the overall estimates are driven by women avoiding AIDS by shifting to monogamous relationships.
