Abstract

The higher risk of osteoporosis and fracture associated with HIV infection and certain antiretrovirals has been well established and the need for risk stratification among older adults increasingly recognized. This review focuses upon emerging data on bone complications with HIV/HCV coinfection, in children and adolescents, and with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), as well as new management strategies to minimize the negative effects of ART on bone.

A single-dose zoledronic acid infusion prevents antiretroviral therapy-induced bone loss in treatment-naive HIV-infected patients: a phase IIb trial. Clin Infect Dis. 2016;63(5):663–71. This study demonstrates that a single dose of zoledronic acid prevents bone loss associated with initiation of antiretroviral therapy; however, its role in management has not been clearly established.
