Recent research has continued to add to knowledge about AIDS Dementia
Complex (ADC) and HIV-associated neurobehavioral difficulties. This ar
ticle supplements Greenwood's (1991) article on ADC and summarizes rec
ent literature relevant to clinical psychologists, including staging o
f HIV disease and its relation to neurobehavioral findings, knowledge
about neurological and neuro-psychological complications of HIV diseas
e, new data regarding the prevalence of ADC, and proposed changes in n
omenclature for HIV-associated neurobehavioral disorders. Application
of this knowledge to differential diagnosis and treatment also will be
discussed.
