Document: With the advent of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART), screening for opportunistic infections and appropriate treatment for the same, there has been a trend to increased chronicity of HIV infection. Thus, there is an increased exposure of patients to intensive care units (ICU) due to prolonged survival. In the modern era of highly active antiretroviral therapy, clinicians must be aware of traditional opportunistic infections, as well as newer syndromes such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), multicentric Castleman’s disease, and primary body cavity lymphoma. They must recognize the drug toxicities and drug interactions. This chapter aims to address the above issues with a glimpse of the road ahead.
