We present a case of acute human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and cytomegalovirus coinfection that progressed to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and death in 7 months. The factors that determine the clinical outcome of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection are poorly defined; however, coinfection with other agents, such as cytomegalovirus, may influence its natural history.
