title: Effect of HIV treatment on cognition, behavior, and emotion.
abstract: Although not the most common cause, drug therapy does cause changes in cognition, emotion, or behavior in HIV-infected patients. Clinicians need to be aware of the range of known side effects of drugs for HIV infection. Clinicians also must be vigilant to the possibility of a side effect not previously reported because experience with these drugs, especially in combination with one another, is limited.
