Abstract
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the dementia associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection are new and growing challenges to the health and mental health professions. The authors review the research on dementia as it applies to this patient population and discuss patterns of dementia characteristic of the group. The unique social, emotional, and legal issues caused by AIDS-related dementia are identified, and recommendations are made for practitioners.Keywords
