Human capital theory predicts an increase in life expectancy should lead to an augmenting in schooling investment. This paper uses an unique data set on AIDS patients among Brazilian inhabitants in an attempt to estimate the impact of the arrival of Antiretroviral therapy (ART) on educational outcomes. The availability of ART offsets the negative relationship between vertical HIV-transmission and schooling, around 68% and 57% for elementary and high school completion, respectively. Robustness tests indicate the results are not driven by convergence effects. / O presente trabalho apresenta evidências da relação entre expectativa de vida e investimento em capital humano a nível de indivíduo. A teoria de capital humano postula que um aumento da expectativa de vida eleva o investimento em educação. Usando uma base de dados inédita de pacientes com AIDS no Brasil, este estudo se propõe a estimar o impacto da chegada da terapia antiretroviral (ART) sobre resultados educacionais. A disponibilidade da medicação diminui a correlação negativa entre transmissão vertical de HIV e escolaridade em torno de 68% e 57% para a completude do ensino fundamental e médio, respectivamente. Testes de robustez indicam que os resultados não são devido a efeitos de convergência.
