Abstract
The authors investigated the combined age and
HIV effects on cognitive functions in 146 individuals,
116 of whom had HIV infection. Fortytwo
percent had HIV-associated neurocognitive
disorder, and all were receiving highly active
antiretroviral therapy. Using linear and nonlinear
regression modeling, the authors found only a
trending effect of the quadratic term HIV status
age, both including dementia cases
(p 0.12) and excluding dementia cases
(p 0.06). Our results suggest that either this
early-2000 cohort is not old enough to detect a
clear interactive age and HIV effect or that there
may be a survivor bias for individuals with longterm
infection. Further longitudinal studies are
warranted
