Highly active anti-retroviral therapy HAART

After the advent of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) the incidence of HIV dementia has been reduced by more than 50%. While prior to HAART the incidence was 21 cases for every 100 patient years, the incidence since HAART is reduced tolO.5 per 1,000 patient years. Interestingly, the prevalence of HIV dementia has increased with HAART patients with dementia live longer. Even with advanced AIDS of CD4 counts of less than 100 mm- patients have longevities almost eightfold higher than previously.
