Question : Hi Doctor,
I have anxiety associated with STDs. I got tested for HIV, Hep C, Hep B, VDRL. All are negative or non-reactive.
I am on sertraline 100mg for my health anxiety.
Today my query is about dementia.
I came across something called AIDS associated Dementia.
Kindly confirm that Alzheimer's dementia, Vascular dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia and AIDS associated Dementia are different dementias. Please confirm that Dementia can occur even without HIV & AIDS.
Regards,
Shan
