AIDS in a Hong Kong Chinese.
A young Hong Kong Chinese male patient with fever of unknown origin is presented. The diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was made only 5 months after the onset of his illness. The lack of awareness of the syndrome might account for the delay in the diagnosis. The legal attitude towards homosexuality might have an adverse effect on epidemiological studies of AIDS in Hong Kong.
