Description
Observational studies have noted very high rates of low 25(OH)D (vitamin D) levels in both the general and HIV-infected populations. In HIV-infected patients, low 25 (OH)D levels are likely a combination of both traditional risk factors and HIV-specific and antiretroviral therapy– specific contributors. Because of this unique risk profile, HIV-infected persons may be at greater risk for low 25(OH) D levels and frank deficiency and/or may respond to standard repletion regimens differently than HIV-uninfected patients. Currently, the optimal repletion and maintenance dosing regimens for HIV-infected patients remain unknown, as do potential benefits of supplementation thatmay be unique to the HIV-infected population. This paper reviews data published on HIVinfection and vitamin D health in adults over the last year.
