Abstract:

Over 90 000 people in the UK are infected with HIV, a quarter of whom are unaware of their diagnosis, and the number continues to rise. The prognosis of HIV infection for patients on treatment is now excellent, and life expectancy approaches normal in areas with access to combination antiretroviral treatment. As HIV frequently leads to neurological manifestations, it is crucially important that neurologists know the indications for HIV testing, and address the barriers to testing.
