Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) invades the central nervous system (CNS) early post-infection.
  • CNS manifestations of HIV range from mild cognitive impairments to dementia in children and adults.
  • Standard neuropsychological tests can diagnose and measure HIV-related CNS conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of HIV on the CNS.
  • To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND).
  • To highlight future research directions in HIV neuropathogenesis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on HIV and the CNS.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools for CNS manifestations.

  • Analysis of advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its impact.

    • Main Results:

    • HIV infection frequently leads to CNS involvement with diverse clinical presentations.
    • Effective treatments exist for CNS manifestations, depression, psychosis, and delirium.
    • Advances in ART have transformed HIV into a chronic condition, altering patient concerns.

    Conclusions:

    • Early CNS invasion by HIV necessitates ongoing monitoring and management.
    • Despite treatment advances, challenges remain, including psychosocial impacts and targeted CNS therapies.
    • Further research into neuropathogenesis and CNS-specific treatments is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
