Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antiviral therapy can be helpful for AIDS-related dementia, as the underlying cause is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infecting and damaging the brain. Antiviral therapy can help to control the virus and slow down or prevent further brain damage. However, antiviral therapy is not likely to be helpful for multi-infarct dementia, vascular dementia, or amnestic disorder as these have different underlying causes. Multi-infarct dementia and vascular dementia are caused by damage to the brain due to multiple small strokes or poor blood flow, respectively. Amnestic disorder is usually caused by brain damage from trauma or alcohol abuse.
