 Osteoarthritis is common in the general population and can be a challenge to manage in severe cases-risk in HIV+ persons may be modestly increased but data is limited on that. There is no easy treatment or cure for true osteoarthritis but in most cases symptoms and mobility can be improved though progress can be slow. KH | ||||||||
