March 15, 2022 updated by: Agnès Libois, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre

Evaluation of the Role of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in the Detection of HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorder

The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the use of optical coherence tomography to detect HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder compared to MRI and usual cognitive screening tools.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Definite Case

Patients with abnormal response on both the screening questions and at least one of the cognitive screening tests.

Optical Coherence Tomography is performed in all definite cases

Optical Coherence Tomography provides a non invasive evaluation of the thickness of different layers of the retina
Active Comparator: Control

Patients with normal response on both the screening questions and all the cognitive screening tests.

Optical Coherence Tomography is performed in matched control A patients

Optical Coherence Tomography provides a non invasive evaluation of the thickness of different layers of the retina
