Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) affects 39.9 million people globally, with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) affecting 50-60% of patients due to viral persistence in central nervous system (CNS) reservoirs protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Statistical validation employed Cohen's d effect sizes, 95% confidence intervals, and power analysis. Hydrogen bonding with catalytic residues (Asp110, Lys103 for RT; Asp25, Asp29 for PR). The integration of rigorous statistical validation (effect sizes >1.8, power >0.95) with computational pharmacology provides a reproducible framework for bioprospecting traditional medicines.
