Despite longer life expectancies due to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), the prevalence of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persists thus affecting 52% of the HIV population. Poor sleep quality is commonly reported in older adults and has been related to neurocognitive impairments. This is concerning given studies have shown that up to 75% of adults with HIV experience poor sleep, and by 2020, 70% of adults with HIV will be age 50 and older. It is important to examine sleep quality as it relates to neurocognitive function and HAND in older adults with HIV given its negative impact on cART adherence. Compared to Whites with HIV, African Americans (AA) are disproportionately affected by HIV and are more likely to experience poor sleep quality. This primary goal of this 1-year cross-sectional study is to examine racial differences in sleep quality and neurocognitive function among 60 African Americans and Whites with HIV (age 50+).
This study is designed with two aims: Aim 1a: To explore differences in sleep health between older HIV+ AA and Whites. 1b: To explore differences in domain-specific neurocognitive impairments between older HIV+ AA and Whites. Aim 2a: To explore the relationship between sleep health and neurocognitive function. 2b: To explore the relationship between sleep health and cART adherence. 2c: To explore mediation effects of cART adherence between sleep health and neurocognitive function. This is the first study to explore racial disparities in sleep health and neurocognitive function, using EEG/ERP metrics, among older HIV+ adults. There are two phases in this study: Phase I which consists of neurocognitive testing and sleep assessments with actigraphy, and Phase II which consist of a 20-30 min EEG. Measurements of electrical brain activity will be captured while participants engage in an Attention Network Test which measures executive function, attention, and speed of processing.

| Insomnia Severity | Insomnia Severity Index is a measure of insomnia. Total scores ranging from 0-28 with higher scores indicating more severe clinical insomnia | Day 1 |
| Speed of Processing | Trails Making A Test is a measure of speed of processing (timed task) with greater time to complete task (in minutes) indicating poorer speed of processing | Day 1 |
| Executive Function | Trails Making Test B is a measure of executive function (timed task) with greater time to complete task (in minutes) indicating poorer executive function | Day 1 |
| Attention | Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task is a measure of attention (50 items) with greater number of items correct indicating good attention span | Day 1 |
| Spatial Visualization | Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS III) is a measure of spatial visualization. Scores on items are summed for a maximum score of 21 with greater scores indicating better spatial visualization |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Medication Adherence | Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire is a measure of antiretroviral adherence, a participant is non-adherent if he/she has missed more than two doses within the last week or has not taken any medication for two complete days within the last three months | Day 1 |
| Instrumental Activities of Daily Living |

| Verbal Learning and Memory | Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (Recall and Delayed) is a measure of verbal learning and memory. Three learning trials are summed to calculate a total recall score (maximum score is 36) with greater scores indicating better verbal learning and memory. The delayed recall score is the number of items correct (maximum score is 12) after 25-minutes with greater scores indicating better delayed recall. | Day 1 |
| Brief Visuospatial Memory Test (BVMT) (Recall and Delayed) | Measure of visuospatial memory, three learning trials are summed to calculate a total recall score (maximum score is 36) with greater scores indicating better visuospatial memory. The delayed recall score is the number of items correct (maximum score is 12) after 25-minutes with greater scores indicating better delayed visuospatial memory. | Day 1 |
| Sleep Onset | Actigraphy will measure sleep onset which is the time (in minutes) it takes to fall asleep with longer times indicating worse sleep onset. Time (in minutes) is averaged over 7 days. | Day 1 |
| Total Sleep Time | Actigraphy will measure total sleep time which is the number of sleep hours with lesser hours indicating worse sleep deficiency. Time (in hours) is averaged over 7 days. | Day 1 |
| Wake After Sleep Onset | Actigraphy will measure wake after sleep onset which is the number of awakenings after sleep onset with greater number of episodes indicating sleep fragmentation/poorer sleep. | Day 1 |
| Sleep Efficiency | Actigraphy will measure sleep efficiency which is the percentage of time spent sleep while in bed. It is calculated by dividing the total sleep time (in minutes) by the total amount of time in bed (in minutes) with 85-95% indicating good sleep efficiency. | Day 1 |
| Reaction Time | The Attention Network Test is a computerized measure of reaction times (in milliseconds) to presented stimuli over several trials. Mean reaction time is calculated by averaging the reaction times over 7 trials, with longer mean reaction times indicating poorer attention. | Day 1 |
Brody and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living is a measure of instrumental activities of daily living, scores from 8 categories (ability to use telephone, shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, laundry, mode of transportation, responsibility of own medications, and ability to handle finances) are summed for a total score ranging from 0 (low function, dependent) to 8 (high function, independent) for women and 0 (low function, dependent) to 5 (high function, independent) for men |
