Core Tip
Core Tip: The outcome and prevalence of complications are controversial among human immunodeficiency virus-infected cases who need arthroplasty. According to our literature review, total joint replacement procedures are recommended based on patient-specific factors such as viral load, CD4+ T-cell count, clinical classification, history of intravenous drug addiction, and the patient's overall health. Optimization with antiviral drugs is also suggested before elective arthroplasty.
