NEUROAIDS: A REAL CONCERN

Improved antiretroviral treatments are still unable to cure HIV infections, therefore chronically lowlevels of HIV replication continues in patients. Long-term low replication of HIV leads toaccumulation of virotoxins, which could be a reason for neurotoxicity in long-term HIV survivors.Nowadays, more than 50% of HIV patients are presented with neuropsychiatric complications,known as NeuroAIDS. Increase in life-span of HIV seropositives, along with addition of newinfections every year is a real concern for NeuroAIDS as a new and emerging health problem.
