摘　　要：Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head is increasingly affecting HIV-infected patients. Several factors may contribute to its occurrence, including antiretroviral therapy and its complications. We report a case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in a black woman infected with HIV and treated with antiretroviral drugs in Lomé, Togo, for about 13 years at the time of consultation and with therapeutic success. The antiretroviral treatment included a protease inhibitor initiated 3 years before the onset of the symptomatology which was marked by bilateral hip pain. Biochemical tests showed hypercholesterolemia (total and LDL-cholesterol) and a slight increase in triglycerides. Antiretroviral treatment with a protease inhibitor was changed to an integrase inhibitor. The surgical treatment that was indicated could not be performed because of the patient’s lack of financial means.
