(If treatment is stopped, the virus rebounds and begins its damage.)

The immune system senses and responds to changes in physiologic health, and a new tool called the immune health metric (IHM) can measure and even predict some of these changes, an NIAID study has found. If doctors could use the IHM to detect health problems long before symptoms appear, they could potentially act early to prevent disease, the investigators suggest. Their findings are published in the journal Nature Medicine.

Strong bones help maintain mobility and enhance quality of life. People with HIV are more prone to bone loss and fractures, but you can take steps to improve bone health. Bone is living tissue largely made up of minerals and collagen. Cells called osteoblasts continually add new bone tissue, while osteoclasts dissolve old bone. As people age, bone resorption starts to outpace bone formation, and bone mass naturally declines. Osteopenia is an earlier stage of bone loss, which can progress to osteoporosis.
