Research has shown that when the HIV infects the central nervous system, it can lead to the development of a severe neurological disease called HIV-associated dementia (HAD).
The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART, has helped reduce HAD. But some studies show that HAART may not offer complete protection from less severe HIV-associated neurological problems, nor might it always help to reverse it. As people live longer with AIDS, their risk of developing neurological problems may increase....
