Resting state network connectivity alterations in HIV: Parallels with aging.

ABSTRACT: The increasing incidence of age-related comorbidities in people with HIV (PWH) has led to accelerated aging theories. Functional neuroimaging research, including functional connectivity (FC) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), has identified neural aberrations related to HIV infection. Yet little is known about the relationship between aging and resting-state FC in PWH. This study included 86 virally suppressed PWH and 99 demographically matched controls spanning 22-72 years old who underwent rs-fMRI. The independent and interactive effects of HIV and aging on FC were investigated both within- and between-network using a 7-network atlas. The relationship between HIV-related cognitive deficits and FC was also examined. We also conducted network-based statist
