PSYCHIATRIC MANIFESTATIONS AND NEURO-COGNITIVE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HIV

HIV associated neuro-cognitive disorder is a blanket term that covers a spectrum of neuro-cognitive disturbances in HIV infected individuals ranging from asymptomatic neuro-cognitive impairment(ANI) to HIV associated dementia(HAD). With the institution of combination of retroviral drugs for the treatment, the incidences of severest forms have decreased over the years and the milder forms are more often encountered in clinical setting.
