This recently identified disorder is associated with the AIDS epidemic. The symptoms include forgetfulness, concentration difficulties, mental slowness, mild motor difficulties, and apathetic, withdrawn behavior. These symptoms sometimes appear in an HIV-positive individual before the diagnosis of AIDS has been made. This type of dementia affects a disproportionate number of young adults, in contrast to the other dementias which usually have an onset after middle age. Finally, symptoms of AIDS dementia complex are sometimes difficult to distinguish from psychological and emotional reactions to the diagnosis of AIDS.
