The neurological and psychiatric troubles which may occur during HIV-1 infection are numerous and varied. In fact, 65 per cent of patients who die of AIDS suffer mental and neurological disorders at terminal stages of the disease. Post-mortem examinations reveal some anatomopathological injuries of the nervous system in 90 per cent of AIDS cases. Some acute reactions to factors of stress disorder in HIV-1 infected (but asymptomatic patients) are also noted, particularly in the period following the discovery of seropositivity. This report gives a vivid picture of the current knowledge relating to HIV-1 associated neuropsychiatric troubles and provides results of neurophysiological tests conducted on HIV seropositives in good health before drawing conclusions concerning tracking activities, training of health personnel and research orientations.
