This case is about an HIV seropositive young woman referred for the treatment of severe menorrhagia causing anaemia due to adenomyosis where the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena^®) proved useful in treating her heavy periods and also provided effective contraception without interference from the liver enzyme-inducing effects of antiretroviral medications.

Key Words: adenomyosis • HIV • contraception • menorrhagia
