Purpose

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are being described more frequently in people with HIV infection. This study will test the efficacy of alendronate in comparison with a placebo after 2 years, in people with primary osteoporosis. People will receive the recommended adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Percentage of variation of lumbar BMD on DEXA scan at month 24 versus month 0 for patients included with lumbar osteoporosis (femoral for those included with only femoral osteoporosis)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Percentage of variation of femoral T-score between M0 and M24
Percentages of variation of lumbar and femoral T score between M0 and M12
Evolution of bone metabolism markers
Occurrence of fractures
Tolerance of alendronate
Measure of the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HIV-infected men and women
Description of the evolution of osteoporosis in HIV-infected men and women receiving calcium and vitamin D to define risk factors for osteoporosis in HIV-infected persons

Study Completion Date:	November 2008
Primary Completion Date:	November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

The purposes of this trial are:

To study the efficacy of alendronate in HIV-associated osteoporosis
