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 Carin ii Pneumonia [PCP]. The literature is reviewed on AIDS with a special focus on recent advances and highly active antiretroviral therapy
