Bone Mineral Density and Vitamin D Levels in HIV Treatment-Na ïve African American Individuals Randomized to Receive HIV Drug Regimens.

CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of African American patients with HIV using EFV/FTC/TDF is associated with a reduction in BMD of the hip and sustained reductions of 25(OH)D not seen in the group that received RAL/DRV/r. This phenomenon may have long-term consequences on bone integrity in this population. PMID: 27812717 [PubMed - in process]
