Summary:
Reuters reports on new findings showing that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, effects brain cells in two ways:
"The AIDS virus damages the brain in two ways, by not only killing brain cells but by preventing the birth of new cells, U.S. researchers reported... The study, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, helps shed light on a condition known as HIV-associated dementia, which can cause confusion, sleep disturbances and memory loss in people infected with the virus."
