    Keywords : HIV-1; antiretroviral therapy; cerebrospinal fluid; neurofilament protein; AIDS dementia complex; neuropsychological test;

    Abstract : HIV-1 (hereafter referred to as HIV) is a neurotropic virus that invades the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is then susceptible to an acute infection and later to CNS opportunistic diseases and AIDS dementia complex (ADC). HIV does not infect the neurons, and neuropathogenesis is largely mediated by the immune system. READ MORE
