Among the more common manifestations of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are infections and tumors that occur in regions treated by the otorhinolaryngologist. In this article we discuss the various infections and tumors of the nose and paranasal sinuses that have been reported among AIDS patients. Many of these disease entities may be the presenting signs of human immunodeficiency virus seropositivity and AIDS. The rhinologist should be able to recognize and diagnose these diseases so that proper testing and treatment may ensue. We also review the universal precautions and specific guidelines recommended for safeguarding the rhinologist and other health care workers who treat these patients.

The quality of care for people diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been managed for years with a reductionist vision regarding what the user requires. In terms of health care, there is a good or bad attention regarding the diagnosis, ignorance, stigma associated with it, the system, low training of the health provider, etc. This article aims at reviewing from a literature perspective the different actions that Colombia and Mexico have carried out in relation to the health care of these users and if there are advances over the years or if the same practices that generate low quality care to these users are still adopted.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that manifests in patients with the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), more prominently in the head, neck, and oral mucosal region. The diagnosis of this rare lymphoma serves as a concomitant diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The case is of a 33-year-old previously healthy male, with an unknown diagnosis of HIV with a painful right mandibular mass. He was subsequently diagnosed with PBL and HIV. This case of PBL illustrates the importance of linking a rare and potentially life-threatening diagnosis as a possible first manifestation of HIV.
