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.
