17th International Symposium on Neuropsychiatry & HIV

The intersection of HIV and mental health presents a complex and multifaceted landscape. From combating stigma and isolation to managing psychiatric comorbidities and substance use, the symposium delves into various critical aspects. It also explores neurocognitive impairment, the central nervous system as a unique HIV reservoir, and the pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs. Additionally, discussions touch upon drug interactions between psychotropic medications and antiretrovirals, as well as the adverse effects of ART on the CNS. The concept of the “fourth 90,” encompassing mental health, well-being, and quality of life, underscores the symposium’s comprehensive and contemporary approach to its subject matter.
