We report eight cases and the incidence of leprosy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals after initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART). The incidence of leprosy in patients on ART was 5.22 per 1,000 person-years (95% confidence interval, 2.25 to 10.28). This high incidence suggests that there should be regular examination of HIV-infected individuals for clinical signs of leprosy.
