NAM AIDSmap, June 8, 2023
The likelihood of developing dementia increases with age in the general U.S. population, as well as in people living with HIV in the US. However, a new study suggests that people with HIV who are over 75 may experience a higher prevalence of dementia compared to the general population—with the largest gap seen in women. A study authored by Dr Xiaoying Yu of the University of Texas Medical Branch analyzed data from Medicare.
