Abstract

Aging individuals with HIV may be at risk for developing more age-related cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, or even dementia. The incidence of HIV-related dementia was reduced sharply with the introduction of HAART. Positive mediators, such as good nutrition or cognitive remediation therapy, can potentially mitigate some of the negative cognitive consequences of aging with HIV.
