Assessment of Retinal and Choroidal Microvascular Alterations in HIV-Positive Individuals Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography: A Cross-Sectional Analysis with CD4 Count Correlation
OCTA reveals subclinical retinal and choroidal microvascular alterations in HIV-positive individuals, particularly in those with lower CD4 counts. Reduced SVP VD and increased choroidal VLD may reflect early vascular dysfunction, supporting the use of CD4 count as a biomarker for ocular microvascular health in HIV.
