Description
Yang Zhang and co-authors study brain changes in HIV-positive men with depression in a 2024 paper. Depression is common in people with HIV and links to inflammation and immune strain. How brain, hormone, and immune traits fit together in this group had not been mapped.
The team scanned thirty-three men with both HIV and depression and forty-seven with HIV alone. Brain activity differed in areas tied to movement and vision, and blood markers of inflammation ran higher in the depressed group. Scan changes tracked with blood and clinical measures. The authors urge more care for depression in HIV care and early steps to prevent it.
