Reduced Independence in Daily Living Is Associated with the Gut Microbiome in People with HIV and HCV
ABSTRACT Alterations in the gut microbiome are associated with neurocognition and related disorders, including in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, the connection between the gut microbiome and cognitive decline, gauged by increased dep...
