Integrating Neurocognitive Support into HIV/AIDS Management in Ghana: A Position Statement

Abstract

Despite significant progress in HIV/AIDS management in Ghana, some critical gaps remain in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV-related  neurocognitive problems. As Ghana strives to provide comprehensive care for HIV clients, it is critical to look beyond viral suppression  and address the disease’s neurological implications. This position statement aims to provide a general overview of HIV-Associated  Neurocognitive Disorders, gaps in its management, and the role of integrating neurocognitive screening and neurorehabilitation in  existing HIV care services in Ghana. It is imperative that integrating neurocognitive support into HIV management in Ghana is not only a  matter of improving quality of life but also a critical step toward providing comprehensive HIV/AIDS care services.
