The major neurological complications associated with HIV infection include cognitive, behavioral, and motor disturbances, which may range in severity from subtle, mild cognitive deficits to the clinical syndrome referred to as HIV-associated dementia or AIDS dementia complex (ADC). As with Alzheimer's type dementia, caregivers for people with HIV/AIDS have the overwhelming and burdensome task of caring for someone with deteriorating cognitive abilities, increasing physical debilitation, and changes in personality. This article describes ADC as well as some of the similarities and differences from Alzheimer's type dementia, and offers some special considerations for older adults and HIV.
与HIV感染相关的主要神经并发症包括认知、行为和运动障碍，其严重程度可能从轻微的轻度认知缺陷到被称为HIV相关痴呆或艾滋病痴呆综合征（ADC）的临床综合征不等。与阿尔茨海默病型痴呆一样，HIV/AIDS患者的护理人员面临着照顾认知能力下降、身体日益虚弱和性格改变患者的艰巨而繁重的任务。本文描述了ADC以及与阿尔茨海默病型痴呆的一些异同，并为老年人和HIV患者提供了一些特殊考虑因素。
