 Signs of HIV infection seen in the human body


Skin rashes may be a symptom of HIV or human immunodeficiency virus infection.



Some types of antiretroviral drugs used to control HIV infection may also cause a rash as a result of their action.

In addition, HIV can attack the body's immune system, which can cause a range of skin diseases.


According to HealthLine, HIV infection can attack immune cells normally tasked with fighting the infection.



Over time, the body has difficulty coping with infections that cause skin rashes, especially if HIV medication is not taken.


This is why skin reactions caused by HIV are more common. Here are some of the characteristics of HIV skin infections.

HIV-infected people usually develop a reddish rash on their skin in the early stages of the disease, which appears flat and is not itchy


This HIV rash usually appears on the face, chest, hands, and feet one to two weeks after infection with the virus.


Blistered, fluid-filled, painful rash

People infected with HIV/AIDS are more likely to be infected with the herpes virus. The disease causes a blistering, fluid-filled, painful skin rash.


This rash can appear on different parts of the body, especially on the chest, back, arms, legs, eyes, mouth, and near the genitals.


Treatment of HIV skin rashes

Treatment of HIV-related skin rashes depends on the underlying cause.


If it is caused by an HIV drug reaction, doctors will usually switch to antiretroviral drugs with fewer side effects.


If the rash is caused by a bacterial infection or other cause, the doctor will also recommend antiviral drugs and anti-itching medication.


While the HIV rash is healing, it is recommended not to take hot baths or showers and to avoid exposure to sunlight.
