(PLWH). 1 PLWH are at higher risk for the development of osteoporosis, diagnosed by either a history of fragility fracture or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement of bone mineral density (BMD). 2, 3 Both antiretroviral treatment (ART) and interactions between HIV and the individual affect BMD. 4, 5 HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) recommends DEXA screening for all HIV-infected postmenopausal women and men aged‡ 50 years. 6 There have been no published reports evaluating adherence with this guideline. This study investigates the DEXA ordering practices of providers at a large urban tertiary care center.PLWH aged‡ 50 years from a single academic urban outpatient HIV clinic were included. To qualify, all individuals had at least one clinic visit in the year 2018 and were virally suppressed on ART. A convenience sample was selected. Unblinded chart review assessed if at any time a DEXA scan was (1) ordered,(2) ordered by an HIV provider,(3) completed, and (4) abnormal. In addition, it was noted if individuals were on a tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing regimen at time of chart extraction. This project was exempt from Institutional Review Board approval as it was done for a quality improvement initiative in the clinic.
