Objectives: Diagnostic challenges exist for differentiating HIV dementia from Alzheimer disease (AD) in older HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals. Similar abnormalities in brain amyloid-beta 42 (A beta 42) metabolism may be involved in HIV-associated neuropathology and AD. We evaluated the amyloid-binding agent C-11-Pittsburgh compound B (C-11-PiB), a biomarker for A beta 42 deposition, in cognitively unimpaired HIV+ (n = 10) participants and matched community controls without dementia (n = 20).Methods: In this case-control study, all participants had an C-11-PiB scan within 2 years of concomitant CSF studies and neuropsychometric testing. Statistical differences between HIV+ and community controls for demographic and clinical values were assessed by chi(2) tests. Participants were further divided into either low (= 500 pg/mL) CSF A beta 42 groups with Student t tests performed to determine if regional differences in fibrillar amyloid plaque deposition varied with CSF A beta 42.Results: Regardless of CSF A beta 42 level, none of the HIV+ participants had fibrillar amyloid plaques as assessed by increased C-11-PiB mean cortical binding potential (MCBP) or binding potential within 4 cortical regions. In contrast, some community controls with low CSF A beta 42 (0.18 arbitrary units) within cortical regions.Conclusions: Cognitively unimpaired HIV+ participants, even with low CSF A beta 42 (
