Functional magnetic resonance imaging during the early stages of HIV disease reveals changes in connectivity in the brain that may be due to high-level viral replication soon after infection, according to a study in the September 20, 2011, issue of Brain Connectivity. Researchers suggested this method may be useful as a non-invasive marker for future neurocognitive impairment.

Cognitive impairment remains common among people with HIV and is linked to more severe immune deficiency and absence of treatment, researchers reported at the International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2011) this week in Rome. But drugs that penetrate the central nervous system do not appear to improve overall outcomes.
