Abstract:"Background: HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been implicated as causes of brain injury in Western populations. The prevalence of HCV infection in these studies has been relatively low but may be higher in East Asian populations, such as former plasma donors in China. The objective of this analysis was to determine the association between HIV, HCV, and neuropsychological performance in former plasma donors from a rural area of the Chinese province of Anhui.
