Many types of glomerulonephritis are associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We present a case of a 50-year-old Korean man with an HIV infection, who developed nephrotic syndrome and progressive renal failure. Renal biopsy showed lupus-like glomerulonephritis without clinical or serologic evidence of systemic lupus erythematosus. After the administration of antiretroviral agents and steroids, there was reduction in the amount of proteinuria and improvement in renal function.
