Bone turnover marker trajectories in postpartum women living with HIV compared to women without HIV
Typical postpartum bone chemistry patterns observed in women without HIV were not different in WLH. Additionally, for WLH, postpartum changes normalized by 12-24 months postdelivery. Overall, these findings are reassuring for long-term bone health in reproductive-age African WLH receiving ART.
