Exercise and bone problems Aug 17, 2003 My question is about this bone-depletion thing thats supposed to happen with tenofovir. I have had hiv for 13-14 years(yeah and know that the first 10 years are the hardest).I am taking viramune, 3tc and tenofovir. I ride my bicycle about 120+kilometres per week. I figure I don't need extra cardio so I do 2 very slow heavy circuits per week mostly for the weights. However I've been reading that the bone/joint damage stuff that happens with tenofovir can be worsened by heavy weights and you should keep them light. I don't have any bone problems but wonder if I'm bringing it all down on myself. Thank you in anticipation of your help. I find the Body Forums are just the most wonderful aids resource on the web. Sincerely Sue |

 If you have any doubt about your bone density, tell your doctor to send you to a DEXA scan in a clinic. Weight bearing exercise increases bone density. Viread has shown some problems in bone density in dogs exposed a high doses. So far we have seen no reports in humans. Keep working out and take 1000 mg Calcium+Vitamin D daily. Nelson | ||||||||
