New Website on HIV, Cognitive Impairment, and Cognitive Health 

Updated 03/24/2025

CIHRRC Member Jaime Vera and colleagues from Brighton and Sussex Medical School and the Sussex Beacon have developed a new online resource for HIV, cognitive impairment, and cognitive health. MemoryHIV.org explains what cognitive impairment is, why it might happen, and the signs and symptoms to look out for. It offers practical advice on where to get help if you’re concerned, what to expect if you reach out for support, and tips on keeping your brain healthy. It also provides strategies for managing everyday challenges if you’re dealing with thinking or memory problems. For healthcare professionals, the website offers guidance on understanding the various causes of cognitive impairment in people with HIV, how to assess them in different clinical settings, and how to create personalised care plans based on the root causes.
