The Integrity of Retinal Morphology in Non-immunocompromised People Living with HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy.

Significance: Non-immunocompromised people living with HIV (NIPLHIV) share a similar immunocompetence to non-HIV (HIV) people with an elevated cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART). This has reduced the incidence of HIV retinopathy, thus raising the question of the integrity of the retinal morphology in NIPLHIV with longer life expectancy.

Purpose: The study assessed the retinal thickness and volume of NIPLHIV without retinitis on ART and attempted to find associations with linear parameters of cerebral atrophy.
