Antiretroviral therapy dramatically changed the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV / AIDS, but contributed to the emergence of other new situations that require adequate approach by the dermatologist. The HIV / AIDS Associated Lipodystrophy Syndrome is multifactorial in origin, but it is strongly associated with the use of antiretroviral drugs. It includes changes in body fat distribution, with or without metabolic changes. The los… Show more

“…The virus can be transmitted through sexual relations, transfusion of blood or blood products, sharing of syringes, and vertical transmission. The infection is characterized by three stages: acute retroviral syndrome, chronic asymptomatic infection, and symptomatic infection/AIDS, where there is a large variation in the CD4 cell count in the individual HIV carrier (1,2) . This virus acts preferentially in T-lymphocyte CD4 cells, which control the body's immune response, and act on other susceptible cells such as monocytes/macrophages.…”

This begins the process of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) transcription, which afterwards migrates to the cell nucleus and integrates into the host DNA (2,3) . Laboratory diagnosis of HIV infection can be accomplished by direct methods such as culture and viral isolation, as well as detection of HIV antigen and HIV nucleic acids.…”
