Self-reported health and health literacy, neuroplasticity and neuro-immunological markers during the first 12 months in newly diagnosed people living with HIV: An exploratory study
The study confirms that during the initial 12 months living with HIV, apart from the expected improvement in viral load and CD4, there is a significant decrease in self-perceived stress, but little changes in systems inflammation. The finding of an inverse relationship between levels of a pro-inflammatory marker and health literacy requires further studies.
