Navigating HIV-Associated Dementia

A caregiver’s guide to supporting your loved one with confidence and compassion.

About this guide

Written for the person doing the caring.

Caring for a loved one with HIV-Associated Dementia (HAD) means navigating more than memory loss — it can affect personality, mood, and the ability to manage everyday tasks. Watching this decline is heartbreaking, but early understanding and the right support can make a real difference in quality of life.

This free guide offers practical information, emotional support, and resources to help you care for your loved one with HAD — from understanding the condition and treatment to managing daily life and planning ahead.

Free · no cost, ever
