Dr. Aqeela Moosa

Aqeela Moosa is a medical researcher whose work focuses on HIV-associated comorbidities in the Southern African context. With publications in the Southern African Journal of HIV Medicine and the South African Journal of Radiology, her scholarship reflects a strong engagement with clinically relevant pathology and imaging-based assessment of organ involvement in people living with HIV.

Her research explores hepatic and cardiovascular complications in HIV infection. A recent post-mortem analysis investigated steatotic liver disease in individuals with HIV, highlighting risk profiles and the need for targeted screening strategies. Earlier work using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging examined cardiac structure and systolic function in untreated, asymptomatic patients, contributing to understanding of subclinical cardiovascular changes in HIV.

Across the available publications, Moosa demonstrates strengths in cross-sectional clinical study design, imaging interpretation, and histopathological correlation. Although the current analysis is based on limited available publications, the work underscores a sustained interest in non-AIDS-related morbidity and the evolving burden of chronic disease in HIV-affected populations.
