HIV‐associated distal polyneuropathy (HIV‐PN) affects large and small sensory nerve fibers and can cause tactile insensitivity. This exploratory study forms part of an effort to apply subsensory electrical nerve stimulation (SENS) to improve tactile sensitivity of patients with HIV‐PN. This work presented an opportunity to use a robust protocol to quantitatively describe the vibrotactile sensitivity of individuals with HIV‐PN on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and correlate these findings with commonly used clinical vibration testing and scoring grades.
