Abbreviations: ME, marginal effect; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval, HIV+, HIV-positive; HIV-, HIV-negative; ART, antiretroviral therapy.Notes: GEE regression models for working age adults (18–65 years old), with binomial distribution, logistic link, and exchangeable correlation at the household level. Marginal effects are reported as percentage point changes. Reference group are HIV-negative participants who do not reside with HIV-positive household members. Models controlled for education level, age, age-squared, gender, marital status, wealth index, number of children in household, number of household members and community indicators. P-value notation
