Abstract
A total of 105 HIV-positive patients underwent dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA) scan to assess bone mineral density (BMD). The prevalence of reduced BMD was found to be 71% and was higher in patients who had ever been treated with protease inhibitors (PI). Our results suggest a possible association between PI and reduced BMD, and further complicate the debate regarding when to commence treatment of HIV and with what agents to start.Entities:
