Not only the pathological findings of HIV growth in microglias, astrocytes and macrophages in the central nervous system, but also the pathobiological findings of neuronal apoptosis were shown as etiologies of HIV encephalopathy. Epidemiology, diagnosis, prophylaxis, fetomaternal transmission and embryopathy were discussed briefly.
