Abstract
This review was hence conducted to understand the prevalence and types of OMLs in individuals with HIV and the influence of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on these manifestations. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, namely PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Two reviewers independently extracted the data variables. Studies included had a lower risk of bias as per the NOS assessment. The findings revealed a significant prevalence of OMLs among individuals with HIV, with variations in the occurrence and type of these OMLs between individuals on HAART and those not on HART. Overall, it was noted that the occurrence of OMLs was lessened with HAART treatment as compared to those without.
