People with HIV infection treated with combined antiretroviral drugs are living longer. Some persons are reaching an age where Alzheimer's Disease (AD) starts to become significant. In addition, emerging results show an increasing link between brain pathology in HIV and in AD. Using a cross-disciplinary approach, our study is designed to understand if HIV infection predisposes to AD.

接受抗逆转录病毒联合药物治疗的艾滋病毒感染者寿命更长。有些人正在达到老年痴呆症（AD）开始变得显着的年龄。此外，新的结果显示，艾滋病毒和AD的脑病理学之间的联系越来越多。使用跨学科的方法，我们的研究旨在了解艾滋病毒感染是否易患AD。
