Despite the persistence of these complications, which often co-occur, the underlying pathophysiology remains elusive and consequently treatments remain limited. To continue to grow our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of CNS complications among PWH, there is a need to reexamine our current approaches, which are now more than 2 decades old. At the 2021 National Institutes of Health-sponsored meeting on Biotypes of CNS Complications in PWH, the Neurobehavioral Working Group addressed the following: (1) challenges inherent to determining CNS complications; (2) heterogeneity in CNS complications; and (3) problems and solutions for examining integrated biotypes. The review below provides a summary of the main points presented and discussed by the Neurobehavioral Working Group at the meeting. |
