Even in Modern Era, People With HIV Are at Increased Risk for Dementia

People living with HIV were 60% more likely than their HIV-negative counterparts to be diagnosed with dementia in 2015 and 2016, according to a paper published in the journal AIDS.

Jennifer O. Lam, PhD, of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, and colleagues culled through medical records of Kaiser members in California, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, to identify 13,296 people living with HIV. These participants were matched by age, sex and race with 155,354 HIV-negative Kaiser members. All participants were older than 50, and nine out of 10 were men. The median age of the men, whether living with HIV or not, was 54 years.

(Snip)

… HIV was still associated with an 80% increase in dementia diagnosis overall compared with HIV-negative people.

I hope those figures don’t mean that close to 10% of Kaiser members have HIV.

they were crazy before they got HIV!

Anyone who cant figure out what sex they are, or who looks at a men’s hairy anus as an attractive sex object is insane.

Age 54 seems very early in years to have dementia. My wife and I are in our early 80’s and none of our male friends and relatives over 65 have dementia. We might forget where our car keys are. Dementia ain’t there yet.

Did anyone think it was an health improvement?

Next they’ll claim studies say aids patients don’t have a longer lifespan than non-airs patients.

My take on this is that the dementia was there before the AIDS.

When I think of how AIDS is transmitted, I know there is lots of dementia involved.

HIV causes its infected to experience accelerated aging of 14 years. This leads to illnesses, like dementia (HAND, or HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder), cancers, kidney disease, et al. HIV infected also die 14 years earlier.
HIV accelerated aging occurs even when the infected take antiretrovirals. For years, magazines blamed the diseases on the meds people take for HIV, but that is not the cause.
I’ve posted this information repeatedly, but here I go again, to inform those who aren’t aware. To see more info, check keyword hivaging.

The rate appeared to drop if the person had never had an AIDS-defining nadir (lowest-ever) CD4 count below 200 (a 60% increase compared with the HIV-negative group) or had an undetectable viral load at the start of the study (a 70% increase).

This is the key detail for me.

This is the elephant in the room we’re not allowed to notice or mention. Nearly EVERY man who contracts HIV contracts it sexually from other men. It is primarily a man-to-man disease vector. Women are essentially transmission dead ends, ignoring prenatal transmission to their offspring, which is relatively rare. Women rarely transmit it to men, and men rarely transmit it to women through vaginal sex. Don’t believe that smokescreen constructed to make it a man-to-woman risk. The women who contract it do so through IV drug use or the deviant forms of sex that homosexual men engage in.

I am 82 Y.O. and have made a rule not to leave my glasses or coffee cup at random places in house. Yes, that requires few extra step, but I save many more steps later to find the lost item.

“I am 82 Y.O. and have made a rule not to leave my glasses or coffee cup at random places in house. Yes, that requires few extra step, but I save many more steps later to find the lost item.”

You sound like me. I have 3 pair of sunglasses, I wear around the yard outside and the streets where I walk. They stay in our family room on the arm of a couch.

My bill fold stays on the outer corner of a side table by my Lazy Boy. My coffee mug stays on the opposite side of that table.

My driving glasses are on hooks by the keys to our vehicle or car port before going out that door.

These simple tricks enable me to get equipped to go outside for whatever in a minute instead of a half hour to find what I need.

The above and a packed go bag are necessities, when you live in earthquake or fire hazard country. One time the cops gave us 5 minutes to hit the road.

Ten % is pretty high, but in DC and neighboring Prince George’s County, its 5% of adults. I used to teach at PGCC, so that meant on average, there were 1-2 people in every class that had AIDS.

Pretty scary if you think about it too much.
