Anxiety and the neuropsychiatry of AIDS.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related disorders are increasingly prevalent. They have psychopathologic and neuropsychiatric complications that warrant a systematic neurobehavioral assessment and a differential diagnosis of emotional disturbances in HIV-infected patients. This article provides an overview of HIV-spectrum disorders and discusses the management of anxiety in patients with HIV infection.
