ABSTRACT
In an attempt to develop better methods for diagnosis, screening and serial assessment of HIV-1-associated cognitive/motor complex, we have added a motor component to tests of reaction time, defining the new parameter as total reaction time. Thirty-four non-drug-using, HIV-positive men underwent four different tests of total reaction time. All four tests reached a level of statistical significance, both for a group of patients with early disease and for a group of patients with symptoms, compared with a control group. Total reaction time had a better discriminatory ability than standard reaction time, particularly for patients with early disease. It is suggested that neuropsychological studies of HIV-1-associated cognitive/motor complex should include tests of total reaction time.
