Maraviroc and NeuroAIDS Pathogenesis

Maraviroc is an antiretroviral medication that may help in improving mental function in HIV infected patients with mental problems by decreasing inflammatory tendencies. We will test this in a clinical trial of 42 HIV infected individuals with some mild to moderate mental problems who are already on HIV medications and doing well. We will add Maraviroc or a sugar pill to their HIV medications and see if mental function improves over 48 weeks. This study will be conducted at 2 sites in Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
