He was diabetic and on a controlled diet and had a previous deep vein thrombosis affecting the same leg. Factors that have been studied in HIV-related KS as well as classical KS, such as diabetes mellitus, not smoking and previous deep vein thrombosis, may have increased our patient{\textquoteright}s risk for the development of this disease. Clinicians should consider KS as a possible diagnosis even in patients with well-controlled HIV.}, issn = {1368-4973}, URL = {https://sti.bmj.com/content/87/7/609}, eprint = {https://sti.bmj.com/content/87/7/609.full.pdf}, journal = {Sexually Transmitted Infections} }
