The median age at diagnosis was 36 years. Of the total, 50 cases were diagnosed with a concomitant sexually transmitted infection (STI), more frequently syphilis and ano-genital HPV infection. The remaining 47 patients were diagnosed with other dermatological conditions such as prurigo nodularis, psoriasis, and Kaposi\u2019s sarcoma. The duration of complaints that lead to medical attention ranged from &lt;1 week to 8 years, being significantly lower in patients diagnosed with a concomitant STI ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Basal viral load was also lower in this group of patients ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Of all the new diagnosed cases, 80% of patients are currently retained in care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study grants a descriptive overview of de novo HIV infection diagnoses performed by dermatovenereologists in a central hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.
