Conclusions
Although HIV/AIDS is still a mysterious and life-threatening disease, it can be prevented and now it can be treated. Close attention needs to be paid to the changing nature and demographics of the epidemics and the populations that are becoming seropositive and those who are receiving treatment. As the treatments become more efficacious, the need to attend to the possible CNS complications from HIV/AIDS and their sequelae, such as dementia and other HIV-related neuropsychological and psychiatric impairments becomes even more pressing. As HIV/AIDS is now viewed as a chronic illness, considerations of how to teach people to manage their treatment regimens and maintain a good QOL throughout are paramount.
Despite the baffling nature of HIV/AIDS, researchers in behavioral science, neuroscience, immunology, and molecular biology are continuing to ask and answer more specific questions. The striking growth of HIV-related prevention and treatment research during the last decade encourages us to believe that many of the research questions laid out in this research agenda will be successfully addressed in this next decade.
