Abstract:
HIV retinopathy is an ocular affection occurring especially in HIV positive patients with deep immunodeficiency. Because of benign character the HIV retinopathy does not require any specific therapy, but it must be carefully distinguished from other ocular diseases, which can seriously damage sight, e.g. CMV retinitis. The presence of HIV retinopathy can also be a symptom of progression of HIV infection and should be perceived as a signal for considering the initiation of antiretroviral therapy in treatment naive patients.
