Abstract
Several studies have examined the electrophysiological correlates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in medically asymptomatic men. Although the rates of HIV infection are increasing at a greater rate in women than men, there have been no publications to date of electrophysiological functioning in HIV-infected women. In the present study, quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) activity was measured in 22 women (11 asymptomatic HIV-seropositive and 11 HIV-seronegative) utilizing a procedure comprised of three auditory continuous performance tests and a set of qEEG components derived from principal components analysis. No significant group differences were found in qEEG or in performance on the continuous performance tests; however, task-related differences were detected across groups between simple and complex language tasks in EEG fast beta power, delta power, and a left-hemisphere principal components analysis-derived EEG component. In examining the electrophysiological correlates of HIV infection, researchers might employ a similar methodology while increasing the sample size and varying the task modality or difficulty.
