To the Editors: As the mortality of HIV-infected individuals was improved by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), opportunistic infections were replaced by long-term complications including loss of bone mineral density (BMD). 1-9 It was first reported in 1999 and has emerged in the last decade10, 11 and has probably placed HIV-infected individuals at higher risk of bone fractures. 12, 13 The causes are considered to be multifactorial and include HIV infection itself, body mass index (BMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), testosterone level, and hepatitis coinfection. 14-17 Some articles link the use of protease inhibitors and the tenofovir (TDF) with lower BMD. 18-20 Most of the articles associated with BMD loss in HIV-infected patients have been reported from North America, Europe, and Oceania. Accordingly, the BMD research on HIV-infected Asians is underrepresented. In this work, we focused on male Japanese HIV-infected patients and studied the prevalence and severity of BMD loss among them and attempted to determine clinical factors related to BMD loss.Forty male Japanese HIV-infected individuals aged from 21 to 70 years who visited the Teikyo University Hospital were enrolled in this study. This study was approved by the ethical committee of the Teikyo University School of Medicine, and the patients gave written informed consent. The patients underwent BMD analyses from March 2010 to February 2012 with the same dual
