Sumario:Osseous changes in HIV positive patients receiving ART are three times greater than in normal individuals. These changes include osteopaenia/osteoporosis, stress fractures, fragility fractures and osteonecrosis. On an average, bone mineral density reduces by 2–6% in the first 2 years after commencement of antiretroviral therapy. High risk for stress fractures is observed in these patients. In present article, we report a case of bilateral femoral neck stress fractures in a known HIV patient.
