Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the range of neurological problems that may develop in association with AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The first section is devoted primarily to those occurring in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), excluding the AIDS dementia complex. The second section is devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological problems associated with other sexually transmitted diseases.
