Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to contribute evidence towards the potential to improve cognition in HIV+ individuals experiencing cognitive decline through personalized change in antiretroviral (ARV) medication. To that end, following a comprehensive evaluation to identify confounding clinical conditions, study participants will undergo a lumbar puncture to: (i) measure viral load (at 2 copies/ml); (ii) identify Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) genotype and tropism; and (iii) measure concentration of antiretroviral agents. When indicated from the CSF analysis, a personalized change in ARV will be implemented. Cognition will be measured in all at study entry and 6 months later.
