description Depression is found as a comorbid condition in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Antiretroviral drugs used for the treatment of such infection may result in emergent depression. One such antiretroviral drug is efavirenz (EFV).

We report a case of a 23-year-old male patient suffering from HIV for 5 years with treatment nonresponsive depressive symptoms due to EFV which improved after stopping it.
