The document presents a case of a 52-year-old male with colonic Kaposi’s sarcoma as the first clinical manifestation of undiagnosed HIV, characterized by symptoms such as constipation, hematochezia, and weight loss. Colonoscopy revealed significant mucosal changes, and biopsies confirmed the diagnosis, leading to HIV testing which returned positive. The case highlights the importance of considering HIV in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, especially when Kaposi’s sarcoma is present.
