Abstract

Cutaneous manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are commonly seen in clinical practice. Almost every person living with HIV (PLWH) will present with a dermatological complaint at some point during their care. Compared with people living without HIV, PLWHs have a greater likelihood of skin eruptions because of dysregulation of the skin immune system or drug reactions. This article reviews the most common dermatological conditions in PLWHs, as well as how they typically present in clinical practice, and discusses current evidence for treatment.
