Brief Summary:
Despite the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in the HIV positive population, relatively little is known about the underlying pathology. This prospective cohort study aims to gain further understanding about a number of issues relating to low bone mineral density in HIV-infected subjects.
Detailed Description:
This study will follow HIV positive and negative subjects annually for 5 years. The aims of this study include:
* to describe the pathology underlying low bone mineral density
* to assess the relationship between low bone mineral density and antiretroviral therapy exposure
* to assess the relationship between low bone mineral density and vitamin D /PTH status and/or markers of bone metabolism
* to assess the relationship between osteopenia and subsequent changes in bone mineral density and markers of bone metabolism
* to assess the validity of the currently available fracture risk assessment tool in predicting fractures in HIV positive populations
