ABSTRACT

 Anemia has been linked to adverse HIV outcomes, including dementia, in the pre-highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era. Milder forms of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) remain common in HIV-infected persons, despite HAART, but whether anemia predicts HAND in the HAART era is unknown.
