One of the strongest predictors for HIV-1-associated dementia is the presence of monocytic infiltration in perivascular areas of the brain. Therefore, macrophages have been suggested to play a major role in the development of this disease. This review focuses on possible mechanisms through which the macrophage may enhance disease progression by mediating neuronal damage.
