Brief Summary:
To assess the prevalence and risk factors of neurocognitive impairment and psychiatric comorbidities in HIV infected patients who have undetectable viral load, have been on HAART for at least 1 year and have no history of CNS infection.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
HIV Infections Procedure: lumbar puncture, MRI, MRS

Detailed Description:
To understand how to prevent and treat HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment and psychiatric comorbidities in HIV-infected Thai individuals who don't have current AIDS related illness or current and prior central nervous system (CNS) infection, and have been well treated with HAART with undetectable HIV RNA.
