- Flu meds offer potential to help slow aging, reduce dementia in HIV patients, early research shows
A new study suggests that widely used flu medications like Tamiflu may reduce cognitive decline and premature aging in people with HIV by preserving protective glycans linked to inflammation. Researchers found these drugs could potentially prevent 60-70% of cognitive impairments caused by viral infections, with broader implications for aging-related diseases like dementia.
