Osteonecrosis incidence may increase in HIV patients, but conventional risk factors, not solely HIV or antiviral treatments, are often implicated. Further research is needed to clarify the exact role of treatments in osteonecrosis development.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics
  • Virology

Background:

  • Osteonecrosis incidence is reportedly increasing in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected individuals.
  • The causal relationship between HIV infection, its treatments, and osteonecrosis remains unclear.
  • Investigating potential risk factors for osteonecrosis in this population is crucial.

Observation:

  • A case series of 534 HIV patients identified five instances of osteonecrosis.
  • All observed osteonecrosis cases presented with conventional risk factors unrelated to HIV infection or antiviral therapy.
  • The study reviewed existing literature on HIV and osteonecrosis.

Findings:

  • No patient in this series had osteonecrosis solely attributed to HIV infection or antiviral treatment.

  • While antiviral treatments cannot be definitively excluded as a contributing factor, they were not the sole identified risk.
  • Conventional risk factors appear to play a significant role in osteonecrosis development among HIV patients.

    • Implications:

    • Findings suggest that conventional risk factors, rather than solely HIV or its treatments, are primary drivers of osteonecrosis in this cohort.
    • Further investigation is warranted to elucidate the multifactorial etiology of osteonecrosis in HIV-positive individuals.
    • Clinical awareness of conventional risk factors is essential for managing osteonecrosis risk in HIV patients.
