Description
HIV infection can cause harm to the brain and negatively affect memory, learning, and decision making in daily activities. Smoking may affect the ability of medications to reduce HIV in the bloodstream (viral load), which may affect long-term survival and brain health. This study will look for changes in the brain that might have occurred due to HIV infection or smoking.
