Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can significantly impact the nervous system, leading to a range of neuropsychiatric complications. This chapter delves into the intricate relationship between HIV and these issues, encompassing cognitive decline, mood disorders, and neurological dysfunction. It explores the prevalence of these conditions, examining the factors contributing to increased risk. The chapter further emphasizes the impact of neuropsychiatric issues on patient care and the importance of early detection and intervention. By prioritizing early diagnosis and management, healthcare providers can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals living with HIV who experience these neurological challenges.
