Objective: To explore evidence on physical activity counseling for people living with HIV (PLHIV). Methods: Searches covered earliest records in PubMed (1946), Embase (1947), Web of Science (1900), Scopus (1788), and LILACS...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Neurodevelopmental delays and neuroimaging abnormalities continue to be found in children, adolescents, and youth living with HIV despite the administration of effective combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). However,...

BACKGROUND: More than half of people with HIV are now older than 50 years, and they face an approximately 60% higher risk of developing dementia compared with the general population....

BACKGROUND: Children infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) exhibit the lowest neurodevelopmental scores. Mother-to-child-transmission prevention include perinatally and early antiretroviral therapy (ART) although long-term effects of in utero exposure...

Background C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) is implicated in HIV-associated neuroinflammation, yet its association with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid...

Older people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (OPLWH) have lower physical activity levels than other population groups. Inadequate physical activity participation increases the risks of age-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Therefore,...

Neuroimaging studies have identified brain structural and functional alterations in HIV-infected patients; however, the results are inconsistent. This study aimed to characterize the effects of HIV infection on regional gray...

BACKGROUND: Despite the growth of the population of older people living with HIV (PLWH), data on cognitive disorders among older PLWH, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, are scarce. These...

Background: Aging among people living with HIV (PLWH) presents multifaceted challenges influenced by antiretroviral therapy (ART), chronic inflammation, viral coinfections, stigma, multimorbidity, and immunosuppression. Methods: This review synthesizes recent research...

BACKGROUND: In the combination antiretroviral therapy era, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is still widespread among HIV-infected individuals. However, there is no effective treatment for HAND, and the exact pathogenic mechanism...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly extended the life expectancy of people with HIV (PWH). However, as this population ages, they face increased risk of social isolation and...

HIV remains a significant public health concern, with an estimation of 39 million people infected. There is a lack of universally accepted benchmarks for prevalence of mental health problems among...
