A recent study, published in Nature Communications, shows that in the Netherlands, people who are diagnosed with HIV are less likely to be employed, work fewer hours, earn less income, and are more likely to receive disability benefits up to seven years after diagnosis.
The study, supported by the Amsterdam Research Centre for Health Economics and Management (ARCHEM) utilizes data from Stichting hiv monitoring (SHM) and Statistics Netherlands. It compares labor market outcomes of 5960 people diagnosed with HIV between 2010 and 2022 to a matched control group of 59,600 people drawn from the general population.
