AB  - A  high  index  of  suspicion  is  needed  for  the  initial  diagnosis  of  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV),  particularly  in  the  context  of  atypical  presenting  symptoms.  Consider  acute  HIV  in  the  patient  who  presents  with  a  mononucleosis-like  infection,  but  with  negative  monospot  testing.CD4  T-cell  count  is  correlated  with  risk  for  opportunistic  infection.All  patients  with  HIV  and  respiratory  complaints,  especially  those  with  CD4  <200  cells/μL  should  be  placed  in  negative  pressure/airborne  isolation  until  the  diagnosis  of  tuberculosis  can  be  excluded.With  appropriate  care  and  proper  management,  people  living  with  HIV  can  live  a  normal  lifespan.
