Abstract: Neurodegeneration in HIV-positive patients is a prominent topic in scientific research and medical practice. This condition, characterized by the progressive decline of neurological functions, presents significant challenges for patients and healthcare professionals. The progression of the disease in the Central Nervous System can lead to conditions such as HIV-related dementia and neuropathies. With the increased life expectancy of HIV patients due to Antiretroviral Therapies, new challenges related to quality of life and the emergence of age-related diseases, such as neurodegeneration, have arisen. Objective: To investigate and synthesize current evidence on HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder, underlying mechanisms, and management challenges. Method: This is an integrative review of recent literature sources from the MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases. Result: Neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration are hallmark features of HIV infection. The early entry of HIV into the central nervous system leads to chronic neuroinflammation, neuronal dysfunction, and neurodegeneration. HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders range from mild to severe, affecting patients' quality of life. Recent advances include the development of antiretroviral therapies with better ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, and the use of adjunctive therapies such as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents, and stem cell therapy, although more studies are needed to confirm their efficacy. Personalized treatment approaches based on pharmacogenomics also show promise. Conclusion: In addition to early diagnosis and proper disease management, the integration of medical care, psychosocial support, and health education strategies is crucial to overcome existing obstacles and explore new therapeutic possibilities. Antiretroviral therapy is crucial for preventing neurodegeneration, but not all antiretrovirals have similar efficacy in the brain.
