Effect of different antiretroviral therapy on muscle mass, bone mineral density, and trabecular bone score in Chinese HIV-infected males

ConclusionsThis is the first study to report not only greater BMD loss but also muscle loss in Chinese MWH with 3TC-TDF-EFV regimen. Our work highlights the importance of closely monitoring muscle mass and BMD in patients treated with 3TC-TDF-EFV regimen and provides a foundation for the clinical intervention of sarcopenia and osteoporosis in them.
