A 35 years old woman presented with a periumbilical abscess that later developed into an enterocutaneous fistula. She was found to be HIV positive and responded promptly to antibiotics and antiretroviral drugs. We conclude that in situations where there is enterocutaneous fistula of unknown aetiology, HIV screening should be strongly recommended.
