Abstract
The relationship between neurocognitive impairment
and employment in a cohort of 130 predominantly symptomatic
individuals with HIV–1 infection was examined. Participants
were classified as employed (full or part-time for pay)
or unemployed (N = 64) and administered a neuropsychological
test battery. When covarying for CD4 count, age, and physical
limitations, the results revealed that unemployed men performed
below that of employed participants on tasks of memory,
set shifting–cognitive flexibility, and psychomotor
speed. The results are discussed within the context of
similar findings in other illnesses. (JINS, 1999,
5, 534–539.)
