Publication Abstract Display | Type: Published Abstract | Title: Antiretroviral resistance and neuropsychological performance among HIV-infected individuals. | Authors: Hightower G, Letendre S, Cachay E, Cherner M, Gibson S, Ellis R, Richman D, Ignacio C, Smith D | Year: 2007 | Publication: Antiviral Therapy | Volume: 12 Issue: S1 Pages: 108 | Abstract:HIV infection can impair neuropsycho- logical performance (NP).
Impaired NP has been hypothesized to impact a patients ability to adhere to medication regimens
and contribute to the development of drug resistance (DR). Alternatively, DR mutations may
decrease viral fitness and pathogenicity and, there- fore, protect against NP impairment. The
objective of this study was to determine the association between DR and NP among HIV-infected
individuals. |
