HIV infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) can develop avascular osteonecrosis, 45 times greater than the general population. Avascular osteonecrosis increased in the last few years in patients with HIV infection. The most important mechanisms for avascular osteonecrosis in HIV-infected patients are: changes in bone metabolism, especially osteoporosis correlated with protease ...

Advances in HIV management make it difficult to deny solid organ transplantation to HIV-infected patients based on futility arguments. Preliminary studies suggest that both patient and graft survival are similar in HIV-negative and HIV-positive transplant recipients. While there has been no significant HIV disease progression, substantial interactions between immunosuppressants and antiretrovir...
