We present five cases of leprosy in five human immunodeficiency virus-positive individuals. The patients were five men between the ages of 18 and 45 years. ⋯ In one patient, there was bilateral "claw hands." Histologically, two cases were categorized as lepromatous leprosy, two as borderline tuberculoid, and one as borderline lepromatous. Follow-up information obtained in the five patients showed one patient had died, and the remaining four patients were alive and receiving antileprosy treatment.
