Article Synopsis
- Despite effective antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV still face HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND), which leads to memory loss and motor impairments.
- HIV can enter the brain quickly after infection and disrupt the blood-brain barrier, causing inflammation and damage to brain cells through its toxic proteins.
- The presence of a latent pool of HIV-infected cells complicates treatment for HAND, as these cells are resistant to therapy and can reactivate, necessitating further research and new strategies for effective management.
