Infection with HIV causes a spectrum of clinical problems beginning at the time of seroconversion (primary HIV) and terminating with full blown Acquired Immune deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and death. This article describes the case of a 45-year-old gentleman who presented with 2 months history of fever and weight loss. He was diagnosed as a case of HIV on Elisa testing. He had extremely low CD 4 count and was suffering from opportunistic infections like Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP). The literature is reviewed on AIDS with a special focus on recent advances and highly active antiretroviral therapy.
