PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Utilizing a culturally-tailored approach, the goals of this study are to investigate whether older HIV+ Latinas/os demonstrate worse patterns of decline in cognitive function and brain integrity compared to other ethnic/HIV status groups, and to uncover the biological (e.g., neuroinflammatory biomarkers [sTREM2, sCD14, sTNFR-II, & IL-6], cardiovascular burden) and sociocultural (e.g., acculturation, social adversity, stress) mechanisms conferring risk for neurodegenerative and cognitive changes in this population.
