RESUMEN
Among 128 adult people living with HIV and no neurological conditions confounding the cerebrospinal fluid results, the presence of HSV-1 chronic infection (detected either by serology or PCR), but not of HSV-2 and VZV, independently associated with higher odds of blood-brain barrier impairment, abnormally increased cerebrospinal fluid levels of tau and phosphorylated-181 tau, and decreased concentrations of fragments 1-42 of beta amyloid compared to the seronegative counterpart. These associations were even stronger for seropositive participants with a positive history of at least one symptomatic reactivation of HSV-1.
