This is at odds with the first article in this series that said people taking NRTIs for HIV infection may have less Alzheimer's dementia. If true, it would lower the overall number of people who have HIV infection and dementia.

Yes, individuals living with HIV may experience accelerated brain aging. One of the problems noted in aging populations with HIV is decreased mental function, which can manifest as HIV-associated dementia. This severe form of dementia is characterized by decreased attention and concentration, slowed thinking, and slow body movements. Additionally, about one-third of people with HIV have at least a mild form of neurocognitive impairment. This suggests that HIV can contribute to accelerated brain aging and cognitive decline.

@A myHIVteam Member, I could never solve the Rubik's cube. But all the other puzzles that Rubic make, the pyramid, missing link, Alexander's star, there was a flat puzzle don't remember the name, and the orbit, I could solve all those motherf*ckers, but not that damn cube! To this day I haven't solve that cube.
I'm addicted to Sudoku. I have a Sudoku app on my phone lol.
