ABSTRACT
Bone toxicity is a well-known side effect of several antiviral agents. In a cohort of virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients, we investigated the effects of a lamivudine/dolutegravir dual therapy on bone mineral density (BMD). We observed a significant improvement in lumbar spine BMD as well as T-score after 12 months of observation with concomitant bisphosphonate therapy independently predicting a greater improvement. These preliminary data show a favorable effect of this 2-drug regimen on bone health.
