Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been described in children and young people with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV), which may be related to both traditional (e.g. low body mass index and malnutrition) and HIV‐related risk factors (e.g. longstanding exposure to HIV and antiretroviral therapy [ART], with immune suppression, chronic immune activation and inflammation).
