Abstract
Most cases of hypogonadism in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are of hypophyseal- hypothalamic origin, and hyperprolactinemia, also commonly observed in HIV-infected patients, may cause hypogonadism. We studied 188 HIV-infected men who had simultaneous determinations of gonadal and hypophyseal hormones, and we found that prolactin levels were independently predictive of hypogonadism in multivariate analysis.
