"Testosterone: Hypogonadism is more prevalent in the HIV-positive population, with prevalence rates about 20% higher than age-matched controls.37 The etiology of this Hypogonadism is unclear but may be related to a combination of factors, including HIV, HAART, malnutrition and opportunistic infections. Hypogonadism may result in or contribute to reduced bone mineral density and muscle mass, poor mood, anemia, decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Testosterone replacement therapy helps improve these conditions and is often prescribed for hypogonadal men with HIV. Testosterone replacement has been linked, albeit not definitely, to an increased risk of development of PCa
 
If HIV truly does represent a risk for PCa, then more rigorous screening may be necessary in this group as a whole, and especially in those on testosterone replacement therapy. At this point in time no definitive recommendations can be offered but it should be noted that many men with HIV are receiving testosterone replacement and are not adequately being screened."
