HIV Positive person presenting with Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.

Statistically Deep vein thrombosis in HIV/AIDS is approximately 10 times greater than in the general population. It is less often reported. Femoral and popliteal vein thrombosis is common. But ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis as first presentation in the HIV positive people is uncommon. Hypercoagulability in HIV positive people can occur due to many reasons and in future we may be looking at different types of thromboprophylactic measures in addition to the aggressive anti retroviral therapies. Here we are reporting on a HIV positive person presenting as unprovoked, acute ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis.
