 AB    This review discusses the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of
       direct human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) brain infection as well as
       other common opportunistic infections and neoplasms in the acquired
       immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) population. MRI utilizing T2-weighted
       images is an ideal method for screening. Gadolinium (Gd) should be
       administered to further characterize positive or questionable studies or
       when meningeal disease is suspected.
