Declining Prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)–Associated Neurocognitive Disorders in Recent Years and Associated Factors in a Large Cohort of Antiretroviral Therapy–Treated Individuals With HIV

Abstract

In this large cohort of ART-treated PWH, mostly virologically suppressed, a remarkable decreasing HAND prevalence was observed. Besides HIV- and patient-related factors, the reduced risk of HAND found with dual and INSTI-based regimens along with a more recent ART initiation, could suggest a potential role of new treatment strategies in this decline, due to their greater virologic efficacy and better tolerability.
