Article Synopsis
- HIV infection is linked to bone loss and increased fracture risk, influenced by the balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, as well as immune cells releasing RANKL.
- HIV proteins can exacerbate bone loss by promoting inflammatory responses, which further disrupts bone metabolism.
- While antiretroviral therapy improves HIV survival, its effects on bone health, particularly with drugs like tenofovir, highlight the need for management strategies to prevent bone loss in HIV patients.
