Abstract
NEUROCOGNITIVE complications, ranging from clinically asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–associated dementia, are well recognized in HIV disease. Although advanced HIV disease remains the strongest correlate of the onset of neuropsychological (NP) impairment,1-3 the factors that may predict the development of such complications remain poorly understood.Keywords
