Popis: Vasculitides are rare manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. They encompass a wide range of different pathologies, both infectious and noninfectious. We present the case of a 68-year-old female with HIV, being treated with antiretrovirals, who presented with a symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm developed within one week. The patient underwent endovascular aneurysm repair, and her aneurysm completely resolved on follow-up computed tomography imaging 16 months later. We also present a review of HIV-associated vascular pathologies.
