Penile vascular status in young men living with HIV experiencing erectile dysfunction: A comparative cross‐sectional pilot study
This study is the first to utilize dynamic penile color Doppler echography to evaluate erectile dysfunction in young males living with HIV, highlighting the association between HIV and early vascular alterations. Clinicians should incorporate routine sexual health evaluations into routinary out-patients visits, using erectile dysfunction as a potential indicator for further vascular screening and early intervention.
