Brief screen (BPNS) examination non-invasive, fast, cheap, easy-to-do diagnostic method, and one clinical tools that can be used to diagnose HIV-DSP. This study assess BPNS test as DSP tool in HIV patients. The cross-sectional was conducted on patients allegedly having DSP. All subjects were examined by nerve conduction (NCS), then results analyzed chi-square 2x2 Table. There 42 enrolled this study. mean 38.88±8.62 years male 24 (57.14%).
