Understanding HIV's Effects on the Brain
HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center
['FUNDING_P30'] · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO · NIH-11062386
This project helps us learn more about how HIV affects the brain and nervous system, and how to better prevent, diagnose, and treat these issues for people living with HIV.

What this research studies
For over two decades, this center has been a leader in understanding how HIV impacts the brain and nervous system. We support various studies, from basic science to clinical trials, to improve care for people with HIV. Our work includes exploring how HIV persists in the brain, ways to potentially eliminate it, and the connection between gut health and brain disorders in HIV. We also focus on understanding and addressing common issues like depression and memory problems in people with HIV. This is achieved by using data and samples from a large registry of individuals.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People living with HIV, especially those experiencing or at risk for brain-related symptoms like memory problems or depression, are the focus of this research.
Not a fit: Patients without HIV or those whose conditions are unrelated to HIV's effects on the brain and nervous system would not directly benefit from this specific research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This work could lead to new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat brain and nervous system problems, including depression and cognitive issues, for people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: This center has a long history of advancing understanding in neuroHIV, building on two decades of successful research in the field.
