Introduction: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) inflicts severe damage to the immune system. It is transmitted from one person to another through blood transfusion and vertical and sexual transmission. It should be noted that almost all papers reporting AIDS emphasized that HIV led to immune deficiency. However, this study reported the first HIV-1 seropositive woman who had an active viral load of HIV-1 without any signs or CD4 lymphocyte count depletion. Conclusions: An untreated HIV-1 positive patient without immunodeficiency is a rare condition, and we found no report of it in the literature. This article reported an HIV-1 positive patient in whom the infection was confirmed several times using the real-time PCR method.
