Human immunodeficiency virus infection is not associated with Reiter's syndrome. Data from three large cohort studies.
The cohorts presented are the largest available and the only ones for which suitable controls exist. They suggest that RS occurs in less than 1% of individuals infected with HIV. Additionally, infection with HIV is no independently associated with RS. Rather, previously described arthritogenic agents are implicated.
