Abstract
Neuropsychiatric disorders and central nervous system-related symptoms are very common in people with HIV and can have a very negative impact on their quality of life and worsen the prognosis of the disease. These disorders are multifactorial in origin, but may be triggered or worsened by the use of certain antiretroviral treatments. This paper reviews the epidemiology of neuropsychiatric disorders and symptoms in people with HIV, the recommendations and tools available for their early assessment, as well as the neurotoxicity of the main families of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. It is important to focus on improvement towards the detection of these disorders during the first evaluation or patient follow-up, aimed at improving quality of life. Because of the central nervous system neurotoxicity profile of different antiretroviral drugs, proactive assessment of neuropsychiatric disorders and symptoms prior to treatment start and during follow-up is necessary.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
