 Minocycline may have some beneficial effects for HIV related brain problems but data is scant at this point in our knowledge. It does have anti-inflammatory properties but the actual clinical benefit and long term safety remains unnown. More studies need to be done before can be recommended for treatment of HIV-related conditions. KH | ||||||||
