Even with good control of the infection, a third or more of patients have problems with thinking or concentration, and many have mental health challenges. These issues are of particular concern in those over 50, a rapidly expanding group given the success of modern antiretroviral treatment.</p> Fri, 08 Jun 2018 19:51:33 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 44060 at /newsroom /newsroom/jean-pierre-routy Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23264 at /newsroom /newsroom/claudia-mitchell Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23590 at /newsroom
