Early neurological complications present an opportunity to make an early diagnosis of HIV infection. Patients may present with subtle symptoms and signs of neurological disease, but many HIV‐related complications are readily treated if they are correctly diagnosed. As there are also neurological side effects of anti‐HIV drugs, the management of patients with neurological complications and HIV disease requires accurate diagnosis.
