This study highlights the multifactorial nature of BMD changes in individuals living with HIV. By identifying correlations between metabolic, hormonal, and disease-related factors and bone health, our findings bring attention to an often-overlooked aspect of HIV management, that is patients with HIV may benefit from routine BMD screening, as it could help identify early risks of low BMD. Abstract Background Reduced Bone Mineral Density (BMD) has been linked to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
