| Abstract: | HIV infection, AIDS, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been associated with bone fragility fractures, although the prevalence and incidence are not well studied by researchers. In HIV and ART, osteopenia and osteoporosis are multifactorial, and health promotion or medical health maintenance should anticipate and prevent morbidity of bone fragility fractures. |
