Research Notes on AIDS Dementia Complex
AIDS dementia complex (ADC) is a common complication of late stage HIV infection. ADC is marked by severe changes in cognitive ability, behavior, and motor coordination.1 Exactly what triggers the development of ADC is not understood.2
Fast Facts:
- Doctors cannot predict how quickly ADC will progress.1
- ADC occurs in about 10% to 15% of people who develop AIDS.1
- ADC is most likely to develop when the T-cell count falls below 200, but can occur at any T-cell count.3
