Abstract

This report describes a case in which a patient took at least four months to seroconvert to anti-HIV positivity. A concomitant CMV infection probably contributed to the profound immune suppression observed. It is essential that fourth generation HIV antigen/antibody combo assays be used to ensure that such cases are not missed.
