PET Imaging of Beta-Amyloid in the HIV Brain

Agency: NIH/NIMH
Agency Award Number: R21

Test the feasibility of using the PIB PET ligand to detect b-amyloid in the brains of HIV patients and compare the imaging results to neuropsychiatric examination, and compare the abundance and distribution of beta-amyloid in autopsy brain tissues to other markers of neurodegeneration associated with HIV in the brain.
