HIV Neurological Disorders, volume 2

Dear Colleagues,

It became apparent from the Special Issue on HIV neurological disorders (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/viruses/special_issues/HIV_Neurological_Disorders) that there are many unresolved challenges. These challenges include, but are not limited to, clinical manifestations, quantitative diagnosis measures, pathological mechanisms and treatment developments. This second Special Issue on HIV neurological disorders can address the different challenges clinicians and researchers are now facing.

The mechanism(s) for the production of HIV neurologic disorders remains elusive and complex. In many parts of the world, opportunistic infections still present a continued challenge. Where treatment is available, patients may eventually present with HIV noninfectious comorbidities. Both these situations need to be addressed, but an underlying point in both is the presence of HIV-associated inflammation.

The chronic inflammation associated with HIV infection is the main candidate for the production of HIV neurological comorbidity. There is a need for both clinical and basic science research addressing HIV neurologic comorbidity.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
