Purpose of reviewTo present an overview of HIV-associated distal symmetric polyneuropathy (HIV-DSP) and other HIV-related peripheral neuropathies in the post-highly active retroviral therapy era. Recent findingsHIV-DSP has become the most common neurologic complication of HIV largely due to the prolonged survival of HIV-positive patients with the advent of highly active retroviral therapy. HIV-DSP can be attributed to the disease itself or to secondary effects of certain HAART agents, and often…

Peripheral Neuropathy in HIV: An Analysis of Evidence‐based Approaches
Comorbid Pain Syndromes in HIV-Associated Peripheral Neuropathy
TLDR
Clinicians managing HIV-PN should seek a broad understanding of patients' pain experience as this may alter management strategies and how the presence of other pain disorders might affect outcomes.
Global HIV neurology: a comprehensive review
TLDR
Further neurological research in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) is needed to address the burden of neurological complications in HIV-positive patients, particularly regarding CNS viral reservoirs and their effects on eradication.
Dissociable Contributions of Precuneus and Cerebellum to Subjective and Objective Neuropathy in HIV
TLDR
In HIV patients, objective signs of neuropathy correlated with smaller cerebellar vermis volumes whereas subjective symptoms of Neuropathy were associated with smaller precuneus volumes, consistent with the recent contention that ART-treated HIV-related neuropathy has a CNS component.

    Small Fiber Neuropathy and Related Syndromes: Pain and Neurodegeneration
  • 2019
TLDR
Therapeutic interventions will focus on treatment of the underlying disease with symptomatic management of the pain and autonomic symptoms, and the presence of non-length-dependent pattern of sensory loss suggests an immune-mediated disorder, while patchy nerve fiber involvement suggests a vasculitic etiology.
Predictive variables for peripheral neuropathy in treated HIV-1 infection revealed by machine learning.
TLDR
Machine learning models uncovered variables related to PNP that were undetected by conventional analyses, emphasizing the importance of statistical algorithmic approaches to understanding complex neurological syndromes.
Mononeuritis multiplex: an uncommon neurological manifestation of cytomegalovirus reactivation in an HIV-infected patient
TLDR
Combination therapy with ganciclovir and foscarnet should be considered for all forms of neurological involvement, although available data are scarce and since there is significant overlap between CMV encephalitis and HIV encephalopathy, ART drugs with higher CSF penetration may have to be considered.
Over-reported peripheral neuropathy symptoms in a cohort of HIV infected and uninfected Rwandan women: the need for validated locally appropriate questionnaires.
TLDR
The rate of peripheral neuropathy symptoms reported in this cohort of HIV-infected African women seems implausible, and rather suggests that the screening tool for peripheral Neuropathy in culturally diverse African settings be locally validated.
Persistent Peripheral Nervous System Damage in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Macaques Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy
TLDR
Findings illustrate that significant PNS damage persists in SIV-infected macaques on suppressive cART, and indicates that antiretroviral toxic neuropathy in some patients is clinically indistinguishable from the sensory neuropathy induced by HIV.
A Comparison of Neuropathic Pain in HIV Disease and Diabetes Mellitus
TLDR
Both groups had paralinguistic and nonverbal elements discovered in the recordings demonstrating the need for future research to explore these components, and one contrasting theme, privacy, was detected in the HIV-PN group, correlating statistically with the Beck Depression Inventory findings of guilt feelings.

HIV-associated distal sensory polyneuropathy in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy: the Manhattan HIV Brain Bank.
TLDR
DSP in the Manhattan HIV Brain Bank cohort is not associated with increased viral load or decreased CD4 cell counts in this cross-sectional analysis, and symptoms of DSP in substance users may be altered by central mechanisms of increased or decreased tolerance to sensory disturbance.

TLDR
The identification and treatment of peripheral neuropathies associated with use of the nucleoside drugs zalcitabine, didanosine (ddI), and stavudine (d4T) are reviewed.
HIV neuropathy natural history cohort study
TLDR
In this cohort of advanced HIV infection–infected subjects, distal sensory polyneuropathy was common and relatively stable over 48 weeks, and previously established risk factors, including CD4 cell count, plasma HIV RNA, and use of dideoxynucleoside antiretrovirals were not predictive of the progression of DSP.

TLDR
Intranasal Peptide T is safe but ineffective in the treatment of painful DSP associated with HIV, although its etiology and optimal treatment are unknown.

TLDR

TLDR
The use of statin drugs was significantly associated with lower odds of SPN, and it may prevent progression from no SPN to SPN.
