Skin lesion is common in person living with HIV. We reported a 42 years old HIV positive man with single erythema skin lesion on the right foot. Clinical examination, anamnesis and laboratory examination revealed that it was cutaneous larva migrant due to parasitic infection. The cutaneous larva migrant due to hookworms is one of neglected tropical disease that might occur in adult with immunocompromised. This neglected disease is discussed rarely and might not be found in developed country, but it is still a common disease in the tropical region. Patient was treated successfully with albendazole, cetirizine, chlorethyl spray and betamethasone cream.
