Abstract

Many patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection now live long due to the availability of antiretroviral drugs. This has resulted in many hitherto unknown complications being reported. We report a 56-year-old trader who presented with a seven-month history of pain in both shoulders and hips. Laboratory investigations and x-rays confirmed oesteonecrosis of both humeral heads and femoral heads in HIV/AIDS. She is presently on antiretroviral drugs and conservative management of her multiple joint disorders.
