Abstract:"Background: While combination ART (cART) has prolonged survival in HIV+ patients, a high prevalence of neurocognitive impairment (NCI) has persisted and cART-related metabolic syndrome has emerged as a complication. We studied the relationship of NCI and metabolic syndrome in HIV-infected participants in CHARTER, an observational study at academic clinics in the 6 US cities. |
