Abstract	Hodgkin lymphoma, although not considered an AIDS-associated neoplasia, is strongly linked to HIV. Individuals with HIV have a higher risk of contracting this disease. This article describes the case of a 12-year-old girl admitted with multiple cervical adenopathies, whose tests showed stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma with respiratory problems. She tested positive for HIV and died before treatment could begin. This case highlights that HIV weakens the immune system, making people more susceptible to cancers, particularly Hodgkin's lymphoma, the risk of which is multiplied by 10 in infected people.
