158th Annual Scientific Meeting
In Clinic Screening for Cognitive Impairment in Older Patients Living without and with HIV
Live Virtual - Zoom
Monday, March 27, 2023
6:00 - 8:00 PM EST

Most clinicians know the importance of getting an accurate diagnosis to explain their patient's cognitive decline. However, far fewer feel comfortable knowing how to quickly and accurately screen and/or diagnose these declines. This presentation provides a brief overview of Alzheimer's and HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND), screening tools available for clinical use and their pros/cons, and tips for referring to neurology/neuropsychology to maximize accurate diagnosis and positive patient outcomes.

After attending this presentation, learners will be able to:
  • Elucidate the differences between cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease/Dementia vs Cognitive Impairment in HIV and aging.
  • Discuss the pros/cons of using cognitive screening measures.
  • Describe common "pen and paper" and computerized dementia screening options.
  • Discuss the concept of "Multiplexity" and its roll in managing older adult patients with HIV.
  • Explain other useful cognitive and behavioral screenings to be considered for use in clinic.
