Popis: Accumulating evidence suggests that rates of low bone mass are greater in HIV-infected males than females. Of eleven biomarkers assessed by sex and HIV-status, HIV-infected males had increased levels of soluble CD14 which inversely correlated with bone mineral content and bone mineral density measures, suggesting macrophage activation as a possible mechanism of differential bone loss.
