With modern antiretroviral drug regimens, HIV-infected people are living longer and HIV has transformed into a chronic illness. The review summarizes pathophysiological as well as clinical aspects of a chronic infection from a neurological point of view including neurocognitive impairment, depression, neuropathies and myopathies. It also draws attention to comorbidities such as syphilis and hepatitis C. They are of particular neurological interest because of the interaction of the pathogens.
