The central nervous system is composed of the brain, spinal cord, and the meninges (protective membranes surrounding them). Although HIV infects monocytes and macrophages, they appear to be relatively resistant to killing. These cells travel throughout the body and carry HIV to various organs, especially the lungs and the brain. Persons living with HIV often experience abnormalities in the central nervous system. Investigators have hypothesized that an accumulation of HIV in brain and nerve cells or the inappropriate release of cytokines or toxic byproducts of these cells may be to blame for the neurological manifestations of HIV disease.
