Biotypes of CNS Complications in People Living with HIV (P01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

HIV associated CNS complications are a significant problem for people living with HIV despite suppressive anti-retroviral therapy. HIV enters the CNS as early as 8 days after infection and can cause several complications including cognitive, neurological and mental health related issues. Although experts have gathered much data on underlying HIV-induced CNS pathophysiology, specific targeted causality remains elusive, and no effective therapies exist to slow, stop, or reverse these adverse outcomes. This initiative is to comprehend the actionable biotypes of CNS complications in people living with HIV based on underlying mechanisms to help capture the heterogeneity of outcomes. Identifying biotypes can inform the development of precision treatment strategies for CNS complications seen in people living with HIV.
