AIDS can cause numbness primarily through its effects on the nervous system. The HIV virus can lead to peripheral neuropathy, a condition where the virus or opportunistic infections damage the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, resulting in sensations of numbness, tingling, or pain, particularly in the hands and feet. Additionally, certain medications used to treat HIV can also contribute to nerve damage, exacerbating these symptoms. Overall, the combination of the virus's direct effects and secondary complications can lead to numbness in individuals with AIDS.
