Update on the Neurological Manifestations of HIV

with the continued widespread use of combination antiretroviral therapy, the incidence of various neurological complications remains low. However, some complications continue to have a serious impact on the lives of hiv-infected patients. The diagnosis of these neurological complications has become even more complex in recent years. Adverse events, stemming from the long-term use of antiretroviral therapy, can lead to neurological complications. And as hiv-positive people continue to live longer because of antiretroviral therapy, the risk of neurological complications stemming from comorbidities increases. In an effort to debunk modern-day myths surrounding some of the most common neurological complications in the setting of hiv, most notably hiv-associated dementia, neurological opportunistic infections, neoplasms and peripheral neuropathy, prn brought Dr. Justin McArthur back to the podium to address this important topic.
