HIV does not attack brain cells. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks cells in the body that fight infection and are involved with immune function. Confusion and memory loss could result from medications that are taken to treat HIV, or possibly infections resulting from the weakened immune systems of those infected with HIV.

What causes paramnesia?
what causes amnesia? Amnesia is most commonly associated with either brain damage through injury or degeneration of brain cells in dementia. In both cases, brain cells are lost, and due to the complex network connecting cells within the human brain, they cannot be replaced. Most significant brain damage occurs when the brain is injured, such as in a car accident or as the result of a fall or blow. These traumas tend to cause a state of confusion, and some memory is often lost. Infections that affect the brain, such as herpes or encephalitis may also cause memory loss. Severe alcohol or drug abuse, and malnutrition, act to deprive the brain of nutrients causing the death of brain cells. This can also cause significant loss of memories. Memory loss may sometimes result from stroke, if it affects the area of the brain concerned with memory functions.
