HIV-associated neurologic disease incidence changes: Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, 1990–1998

TLDR
The proportion of new cases of HIV dementia with a CD4 count in a higher range since 1996 may be increasing, and the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may be responsible.
Abstract
This study examined the temporal trends in the incidence rates of HIV dementia, cryptococcal meningitis, toxoplasmosis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, and CNS lymphoma from January 1990 to December 1998 in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study. The incidence rates for HIV dementia, cryptococcal meningitis, and lymphoma decreased following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The proportion of new cases of HIV dementia with a CD4 count in a higher range (i.e., 201 to 350) since 1996 may be increasing.

Cognitive Neuropsychology of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders

TL;DR: An update on the nature, extent, and diagnosis of HAND is provided and the cognitive neuropsychology approach may enhance the ecological validity of neuroAIDS research and inform the development of much needed novel, targeted cognitive and behavioral therapies.

Higher frequency of dementia in older HIV-1 individuals: The Hawaii Aging with HIV-1 Cohort

TL;DR: Older age is associated with increased HAD in this HIV-1 cohort and underlying mechanisms are unclear but do not appear related to duration of HIV- 1 infection.

TL;DR: This overview will review some of the outstanding questions relating to HIV-dementia, including are there differing phenotypes or temporal patterns of progression in HIV-Dementia?

Methamphetamine dependence increases risk of neuropsychological impairment in HIV infected persons.

TL;DR: The results indicate that HIV infection and methamphetamine dependence are each associated with neuropsychological deficits, and suggest that these factors in combination are associated with additive deleterious cognitive effects.

The epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus-associated neurological disease in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy.

TL;DR: The incidence rates of HIV-associated neurological disease and central nervous system (CNS) opportunistic infections also are decreasing, and as patients develop increasing resistance mutations to antiretroviral drugs and with subsequent decline in CD4 cell counts, in the near future, the incidence of HIV’s neurological disease may begin to rise.

Effectiveness of Potent Antiretroviral Therapy on Time to AIDS and Death in Men With Known HIV Infection Duration

TL;DR: In the calendar period when potent antiretroviral therapy was introduced, the time to development of AIDS and time to death were extended, and rate of CD4 cell count decline was arrested.

Changing incidence of AIDS-defining illnesses in the era of antiretroviral combination therapy.

TL;DR: The incidence of AIDS-defining events in patients with advanced HIV infection at Frankfurt University Hospital has declined by more than 70% from 1992 to 1996, with a trend for malignancies and single opportunistic infections, with the exception of mycobacterial diseases.
