HIV Complications
A 28-year-old black male with an unremarkable medical history presented with numerous nodules on the face (Fig 1), and with multifocal, purple-red, maculo-papular lesions on the gingivae (Fig 2), and on the hard palate . The patient reported that the facial and intra-oral lesions had appeared concurrently three months prior to our examination. KS was provisionally diagnosed. Serological tests confirmed HIV infection, and microscopic examination of a biopsy specimen from the palate showed pronounced vascular and spindle cell proliferation, slit-like vascular spaces with extravasated red blood cells. These findings provided confirmation of the provisional diagnosis of KS. The patient refused anti-retroviral treatment and systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, and was temporarily lost to follow-up but returned to our clinic three months later. He now presented with severe oedema of the face, an increase in number of the facial KS lesions, and extensive enlargement of the oral KS lesions affecting the maxillary and mandibular gingivae and the hard palate. . The patient was in severe pain, could not eat, and had difficulty speaking. He again refused any investigations and treatment, returned home and died two weeks later, the cause of death being undetermined.  ·  · |

Re: HIV Complications
Patient refused treatment. His own demise. I have a close friend with HIV. His medication brings the disease to non-detectable values in his blood stream.

Re: HIV Complications
And many Africans still believe that sexual intercourse with a virgin will cure AIDS, hence the over representation of new hiv infections among Africans. They also believe that sexual intercourse with an animal will avoid or cure AIDS  |
