Hypercalcemia is an uncommon finding in people living with HIV (PLHIV). Causes of hypercalcemia in PLHIV have not been well documented. As such, we studied the causes of hypercalcemia in PLHIV. ⋯ Hypercalcemia in PLHIV is associated with solid organ malignancy, hematologic malignancy, and infection. Most PLHIV with hypercalcemia are asymptomatic. Solid organ malignancy is associated with moderate to severe hypercalcemia, and as such PLHIV presenting with moderate to severe hypercalcemia should be investigated for solid organ malignancy.
