Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection remains a major global health issue, with effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) extending life expectancy but also increasing age-related issues like osteopenia and osteoporosis. This cross-sectional study examines bone mineral density (BMD) and related risk factors in Romanian HIV-positive patients, emphasizing regional and therapy influences. The patients varying in HIV infection duration underwent DXA scanning to measure BMD in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total femur. A high prevalence of low BMD, especially in the lumbar spine, was identified along with significant associations between reduced BMD and factors such as smoking, alcohol use, vitamin D deficiency and serum phosphorus levels. ART like Protease Inhibitors and Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors were linked to increased bone loss, emphasizing the multifactorial nature of osteoporosis in HIV-infected individuals and underscore the importance of regular BMD assessments, lifestyle adjustments, and careful management of antiretroviral therapy to minimize fracture risk and enhance overall health and quality of life.
