Abstract
The HIV-infected population is increasing as major health hazard in both developing & developed countries. In the society, many of children are unaware of HIV or parents refuse to accept the HIV positive status due to social stigma, fear of discrimination & thus perpetuating the spread of HIV. Painless salivary gland swelling is one of the diagnostic & prognostic significance in HIV infected children out of which benign lympho-epithelial cyst is earliest manifestation with incidence of 30%. Here, we are highlighting a rare case report of bilateral parotid enlargement in young HIV infected patient.
