Free Caregiver GuideNavigating HIV-Associated Dementia
A caregiver’s guide to supporting your loved one with confidence and compassion.
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.
Five things this guide covers
- Understanding HAD: how HIV affects the brain and how it differs from other dementias
- Recognizing symptoms and the importance of early detection
- Treatment, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and managing daily life
- Emotional support for both your loved one and yourself
- Financial considerations, outlook, and advocacy
