Background Despite several concerns involving patient status and care givers, the surgical management of cardiac diseases in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive status has evolved into a social reality which has good clinical outcome and safety.

Human resources, social and ethical problems faced in dealing with these patients are also discussed.
