  1. A, all HIV+ patients; B, HIV+ patients with visceral obesity; C, HIV+ patients without visceral obesity; PRFT, perirenal fat thickness; OARI, ophthalmic artery resistance index. All data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * B vs C; ** B vs C. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
