ABSTRACT
We report a case of an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome induced by gluteal silicones in a transgender woman living with HIV following the start of antiretroviral therapy. This case resembles the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) syndrome that has been described as a complication of insertions of materials such as injected or implanted silicones. The potential of developing an inflammatory response in patient with injected or implanted silicones/foreign substances should be considered in patients who have recently started antiretroviral therapy.
