description Much of the research on implications of the HIV epidemic for individual households and broader rural economies in the 1980s and early 1990s predicted progressive declines in agricultural production, with dire consequences for rural livelihoods.

The progressive and systematic decline predicted in earlier work has not come to pass. However, poverty remains, as does endemic HIV disease.
