Objective: To describe a case of clinical debut of been whose diagnosis was late. Case presentation: A case is reported with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Its clinical onset was characterized by respiratory symptoms and genital and perianal injuries by herpes virus for more than 3 months. In this case, HIV diagnosis was late. A state of immunosuppression by CD4+ T count was present. A hospital diagnosis was made, but it could have done earlier. The epidemiological element as target population in higher risk was identified. Conclusions: In this case, late diagnosis of AIDS was made in clinical stage category C3. A good interview, including epidemiological background aspects and a correct and complete physical examination are the basis for an accurate scientific reasoning in the diagnostic procedure.
