Osseous changes in HIV positive patients receiving ART are three times greater than in normal individuals. These changes include osteopaenia/osteoporosis, stress fractures, fragility fractures and osteonecrosis. On an average, bone mineral density reduces by 2-6% in the first 2 years after commencement of antiretroviral therapy. High risk for stress fractures is observed in these patients.
