title: There is an association between human immunodeficiency virus infection and spondyloarthropathies.
abstract: The presence of inflammatory musculoskeletal manifestations during the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is well established. A wide spectrum of rheumatic disorders have been reported since the first reports of Reiter's syndrome with HIV infection. Other reported associations include forms of arthropathies, psoriatic arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, polymyositis-dermatomyositis, vasculitis, and septic arthritis.
