Bone turnover marker trajectories in postpartum women living with HIV compared to women without HIV

Key Points

• To compare postpartum bone turnover marker trajectories in women living with HIV and those without HIV.
• Observed bone chemistry patterns in postpartum women
• Compared WLH with women without HIV
• Monitored changes up to 12-24 months post-delivery
• Postpartum bone chemistry patterns were similar in both groups
• For women living with HIV, changes normalized by 12-24 months post-delivery
• Findings suggest good long-term bone health in reproductive-age women living with HIV receiving ART
