We conducted a prospective observational study of all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)\u2013infected immigrants who visited the Infectious Diseases Department of the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain, during June 2010\u2013May 2011. Screening of the most prevalent tropical diseases (intestinal parasitosis, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, malaria, schistosomiasis, and strongyloidiasis) was performed according to geographic origin. A total of 190 patients were included: 141 (74.2%) from Latin America, 41 (21.6%) from sub-Saharan Africa, and 8 (4.2%) from northern Africa. Overall, 36.8% (70 of 190) of the patients had at least one positive result for any parasitic disease: 5 patients with positive <jats:italic>Trypanosoma cruzi<\/jats:italic> serology, 11 patients with positive <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic> serology, 35 patients with positive <jats:italic>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/jats:italic> serology, 7 patients with positive <jats:italic>Leishmania infantum<\/jats:italic> serology, intestinal parasitosis were detected in 37 patients, malaria was diagnosed in one symptomatic patient.
