Vascular contributions to HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND)
PROJECT SUMMARY: As people with HIV (PWH) age, chronic comorbidities such as cerebrovascular disease and poorer cognition become more prevalent. There is a difference in the rates of cerebrovascular disease and dementia among PWH compared with uninfected individuals. Possible contributing factors include disproportionate prevalence of vascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking in PWH. Additionally, the socioeconomic context of PWH may translate into stressors that contribute to poorer vascular health. In this proposal, we attempt to fill in the knowledge gap of how vascular risk factors and socioeconomic context, like income, stress, and health literacy,…
