Annual Population Association of America Meeting, Washington DC, April 2011. [Poster presentation] Working Papers Marriage in the era of antiretroviral therapy: HIV status and marital change in rural Uganda [Under review] – Documents the changing relationship between HIV infection and marital dissolution and remarriage with the roll-out of antiretroviral therapy. Finds that while HIV is associated with higher rates of marital dissolution and lower rates of remarriage, the introduction of ART has coincided with a stabilization of concordant positive marriages and increase in HIV-positive men’s likelihood of remarrying.
