Background: We previously found lower bone mass but similar bone turnover in pre-pubertal children living with HIV (CLWH) on a ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (LPV/r)-based vs. efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy regimen 2 years after switch. Here, we evaluate if bone turnover differed between the groups close to the time of switch.
