Summary
This study tests whether two HIV medications, emtricitabine and Descovy, are safe for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that often leads to Alzheimer's. Researchers think these drugs might slow memory decline by blocking a process linked to Alzheimer's. About 48 adults with MCI will take either the drug or a placebo daily for 3 months, with close monitoring for side effects and early signs of benefit.
