Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have an increased likelihood of venous thromboembolism (VTE) owing to factors such as acquired protein C and S deficiency, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and heightened levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This case report highlights an exceptionally uncommon occurrence of deep venous thrombosis in an HIV-infected patient receiving a therapeutic dose of enoxaparin. This underscores the need for cautious consideration of the risk of VTE in HIV-infected individuals, even with preventive or therapeutic anticoagulant treatment. Further research is recommended to investigate HIV as a potential risk factor for prophylactic anticoagulation.
