In southern Brazil, HIV+ individuals are significantly more likely to be neurocognitively
impaired than HIV-, as in the U.S., Europe, and many other international settings
When clade B and C-infected individuals from the same geographic region are
compared using the same ascertainment methods, rates of neurocognitive
impairment do not differ significantly
Use of the IHDS as a screening instrument detects only about half of those who are
impaired by a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. |
