“…Prior studies of inhibition in HIV have focused largely on self-report measures and traditional neuropsychological tasks (e.g., Stroop paradigms). Even in the era of antiretroviral treatment (ART), persons with HIV report elevated rates of cognitive and behavioral disinhibition which are associated with impairment in basic cognitive processes such as attention (Hardy, Castellon, Hinkin, Levine, & Lam, 2008), difficulty with activities of daily living (Kamat, Woods, Marcotte, Ellis, & Grant, in press), and engagement in high risk behaviors such as unprotected sex (Semple, Zians, Grant, & Patterson, 2006). HIV-infected individuals also exhibit inhibitory deficits on standard neuropsychological tests (Hinkin, Castellon, Hardy, Granholm, & Siegle, 1999).…”
