Low levels of HIV during ART could contribute to these complications. In this study, we measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) HIV using a single copy assay (SCA) to investigate a possible relationship between low level HIV and cognition.Design/Methods: SCA data were analyzed from three consecutive paired CSF-plasma specimens collected over a mean of 456 days from 96 participants on suppressive ART. Using mixed models, the presence of CSF HIV by SCA as a risk factor for worse neurocognitive performance was examined. |
