Neuropsychology of HIV: Effects & assessment

New Zealand · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

This specialised talk , presented by experienced Clinical Neuropsychologist Digby Ormond-Brown, explores the neuropsychological impact of HIV, with a particular focus on HIV’s effects on brain function and cognition. The session begins with a concise overview of HIV pathophysiology, highlighting how the virus affects neurological structures.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND), including the spectrum of severity from asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment to HIV-associated dementia. Digby also outlines how HAND is identified and measured through neuropsychological assessment tools, and examines the role of biomarkers and the potential neuroprotective effects of antiretroviral treatment.

This talk is ideal for psychologists working in health, neuropsychology, or community settings who want to increase their confidence in identifying and understanding the cognitive implications of HIV.
