 AB    Especially in later stages, persons with HIV frequently experience
       changes in mental status. Providing accurate mental health assessment of
       persons with HIV is an essential aspect of quality nursing care.
       Physical, cognitive and affective symptoms often overlap for the person
       in the later stages of HIV disease, making the assessment process more
       complicated. Using the current information and a few simple
       neuropsychological tests can help nurses avoid some of the more common
       problems in mental health assessment of persons with HIV.
