Using ART regimens with higher CNS penetration? multiple (conflicting) reports suggest no benefit ART drugs may directly induce oxidative stress and neuronal damage Intensification of ART regimens with additional classes of antivirals? recent studies of Maraviroc (CCR5 blocker) suggest possible benefit additional studies underway Adjunctive therapies in addition to ART? focus on controlling neuroinflammation & oxidative stress Slide 29a of 34 How to reduce residual HAND impairment in ART- treated individuals? Using ART regimens with higher CNS penetration? multiple (conflicting) reports suggest no benefit ART drugs may directly induce oxidative stress and neuronal damage Intensification of ART regimens with additional classes of antivirals? recent studies of Maraviroc (CCR5 blocker) suggest possible benefit additional studies underway Adjunctive therapies in addition to ART? focus on controlling neuroinflammation & oxidative stress Slide 29b of 34
