Brief description This study aims to assess the effects of HIV infection on the brain in Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Progressive neurological dysfunction is common in HIV infection and the early detection of such dysfunction is crucial in informing treatment decisions. The need for a simple, valid and sensitive screening method for HIV associated neurological problems in Australians from CALD backgrounds is of paramount importance.
