[1]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\">A bone sub-study of HPTN-083 was conducted at 19 sites and included people taking oral (TDF\/FTC, n=122) or CAB-LA (n=132) PrEP. Low BMD (Z-score \u22642.0) at baseline was observed for 15% (oral) and 16% (LA) of participants. The study measured BMD at lumbar spine, femoral neck and hip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\">At week 105, participants in the oral group saw a median percentage decline in BMD across the three sites of \u20130.5 to \u20131%. Conversely, median BMD increased by +0.5 to +1.5% for participants receiving CAB-LA. These findings suggest that those at risk of osteoporosis or fracture may be better suited to CAB-LA PrEP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\">This sub-study recruited gay men (90%) and trans women (10%) and other baseline demographics included: white (47%), Black (31%) and Asian (12%). Median age was 29 years (IQR: 23 to 41) for oral and 26 years (IQR: 22 to 31 years) for CAB-LA PrEP formulations. 8% of the study population were \u226550 years old.<\/p>\n<h3>comment<\/h3>\n<p><strong>These results are not unexpected although it is unclear whether the overall differences at week 105 are statistically significant given the lower age at baseline in the CAB-LA arm, when bones are still growing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\">Reference<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"HTBBODYtext\">Brown TT et al.
