Older Age and HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND)
Module Description
If there is one constant in the field of HIV medicine, it is that of constant change. The science of HIV is an ever-changing landscape of new research findings, new medications with new targets and also new side effects. In addition to new populations affected by the epidemic, as the elderly, there is the ever-demanding goal of seeking an actual cure for HIV disease. Given the high frequency of HAND and its association with important functional outcomes such as adherence to antiretroviral medications, cognitive screening is clinically important using a two-tiered approach assessing symptoms with follow-up testing.
