Oct 9, 2008

Dear sir My mom is infected by HIV now she is in last stage, now she has last her present memory and she dont have any phisical movement and also she is suffering form psycosis also is there any treatement to over come from psycosis problem

Response from Dr. Horwath

Even people with very advanced AIDS can improve with the correct antiretroviral treatment (ART). You didn't mention if she is receiving ART.

As for her symptoms of psychosis, there are very effective antipsychotic medications that will help to improve these symptoms. If your mother's doctor is not familiar with them, then a consultation with a psychiatrist should be sought.
