In 791/2,383 (33%) tests a cognitive complaint was reported and HAND prevalence was 40%, higher than among not-complaining (13%). Over the study period, a decreasing frequency of HAND was found in the entire population (Tab.1). Factors associated to HAND were older age, lower educational level, lower current CD4+count and HCV co-infection. Compared to pts receiving a NNRTI, those receiving dual and INSTI-based therapies were associated to a decreased risk of having HAND. To be tested in more recent years significantly predicted a reduced risk of HAND (Tab.2).
