Beta-amyloid (A β) uptake by PET imaging in older HIV+ and HIV- individuals

In conclusion, PET imaging found no differences in overall global Aβ deposition stratified by HIV serostatus or HAND stage. Although there was some evidence of i ncreased Aβ deposition in HIV+ individuals in their 50s compared to HIV- individuals which might indicate premature aging, the most parsimonious explanation for this is the relatively small sample size in this cross-sectional cohort study.
