Greater Sensorimotor Deficits and Abnormally Lower Globus Pallidus Fractional Anisotropy in HIV+ Women than in HIV+ Men

ConclusionsThe relatively poorer sensorimotor function and abnormally lower GP_FA, suggesting lesser neuronal integrity, in HIV+ women demonstrate sex-specific effects from HIV-infection on these measures. These findings may be related to the greater immune activation and neuroinflammation in HIV+ women compared to HIV+ men.Graphical Abstract
