Abstract
Little is known about pandemic 2009 influenza A (H1N1) among patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We report a case of 2009 influenza A (H1N1) in a patient who was newly diagnosed as having HIV. His general condition was good, and he was successfully treated in an outpatient setting. The literature was reviewed for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and infection control of pandemic 2009 influenza A (H1N1) among those who have HIV infection.
