Association between HIV and cytomegalovirus and neurocognitive outcomes among children with HIV

2024Open accessUniversity of Nairobi

Abstract

Higher pre-ART viral load and CMV DNA in infancy were associated with lower executive function, nonverbal and metacognition scores and cognitive ability and motor scores in childhood, respectively. These findings suggest long-term benefits of early HIV viral suppression and CMV control on neurocognition.
