description Synchronous opportunistic infections are luckily rare in people living with HIV (PLWH) in the era of highly effective antiretroviral medications. We describe the case of a middle-aged man who presented with diarrhea and shortness of breath and was found to have pneumocystis pneumonia, disseminated histoplasmosis and disseminated mycobacterium avium complex infection along with a new diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This case highlights that individuals who remain undiagnosed with HIV infection for a long time can still present with concurrent infections and clinicians should remain aware of this.
