Abstract

A significant proportion of individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection develop a neurological syndrome consisting of psychomotor retardation, dementia, and associated findings that was initially termed the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) dementia complex. This syndrome is now commonly known as HIV-associated dementia (HAD). This chapter discusses the clinical and pathological features, and pathophysiology in HIV-associated dementia, and the role of microglia in mediating neuronal injury in HIV infection.
