What is AIDS dementia complex?

ANSWER:


AIDS dementia complex (ADC) occurs primarily in persons with more advanced HIV infection. The inflammation of nerve cells may damage the brain and spinal cord. As a result, forgetfulness and confusion, behavioral changes (apathy,
depression, withdrawal), as well as severe headaches, strokes, and loss of sensation in the arms and legs may result. HIV has also been found to alter the size of certain brain structures. Symptoms include encephalitis, behavioral changes, and cognitive decline. When left untreated, ADC can be fatal.
