Humana HIV and the Brain: New Challenges in the Modern Era

Explore the evolving landscape of HIV and neurological health with HIV and the Brain: New Challenges in the Modern Era. As medical advancements change the nature of the disease, this text from the Current Clinical Neurology series addresses the shift from acute illness to a chronic, lifelong condition. While highly active antiretroviral therapies have significantly improved survival rates, the lack of a vaccine and a definitive cure means patients require continuous drug treatment and management of systemic medical complications. This book examines how increased longevity impacts the management of HIV-associated issues. It provides a necessary look at the medical realities of living with the virus in the modern era, focusing on the ongoing needs of patients as they navigate long-term care and the neurological implications of the disease.
