The International HIV Dementia Scale Is a Useful Screening Tool for HIV-Associated Dementia/Cognitive Impairment in HIV-Infected Adults in Yaoundé-Cameroon

Abstract

These results suggest that the prevalence of possible HAD/HACI may be higher in Cameroon than the previous estimates and demonstrate that the IHDS can be used as a screening tool for HAD in Cameroon. We therefore suggest that all studies on HAD in Cameroon should strategically start with the IHDS as a screening tool.
