Notes: The full sample includes all women from the first cohort who answered questions about domestic violence, employment, and illicit drug use, as well as all controls used. The treatment group is defined as having a minimum pre-HAART CD4 count between 300 and 399. High CD4 refers to minimum pre-HAART CD4 count greater than or equal to 400. Income is measured as yearly household income. Cocaine is defined as crack or powdered cocaine use. Stimulants are defined as crack, cocaine, (illicit) methadone, or methamphetamine. Domestic violence is defined as physical or sexual abuse or coercion by an intimate partner or spouse. Coercion indicates that the partner threatened to hurt or kill the subject or prevented her from: leaving or entering her home, seeing friends, making telephone calls, getting or keeping a job, continuing her education, or seeking medical attention. Except for age, observations, and person-visits, all entries in Columns 1 and 2 are percentages. Column 3 shows p-values from the tests of differences in means between the treatment group and the control group.
