HIV Dermatology

HIV dermatology, a subset of immunodermatology, focuses on skin conditions related to HIV infection. HIV weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to various skin problems, such as rashes, infections, and lesions. Treatment often involves managing these skin issues while addressing the overall health of the person living with HIV. Early recognition and appropriate care of skin symptoms can significantly improve quality of life and provide insights into the person's immune status. Dermatologists work closely with HIV specialists to ensure comprehensive care.
