Introduction: Dermatological conditions are prevalent expressions of HIV and AIDS, often aiding in initial diagnoses due to their visibility on the skin and mucous membranes. Given HIV's primary transmission through sexual contact, dermatologists play a crucial role in identifying and managing these infections. Understanding the range of skin and mucosal lesions occurring throughout the course of the disease is vital, particularly as these symptoms can manifest in atypical ways or even precede other signs of immune deficiency. While most associated skin disorders can be treated in outpatient settings, some severe conditions significantly impact health outcomes. Aim of the study: The study aims to consolidate knowledge on the typical manifestations of HIV on the skin and mucous membranes, providing a comprehensive overview of these disease entities. The most common skin and mucosal symptoms associated with HIV infection are summarized and described. Materials and methods: The literature available in the PubMed database was reviewed using the following keywords: “HIV”, “AIDS”, “Skin lesions”, “Mucosal lesions”. Conclusions: Skin conditions are widespread in HIV-infected individuals, often displaying heightened severity compared to the general population. While many of these dermatological issues aren't unique to this group, their manifestations can be more pronounced. HIV-related skin problems vary widely, including specific eruptions linked to AIDS, opportunistic infections, and AIDS-related cancers. Although some HIV-associated skin diseases have decreased due to antiretroviral therapy, there's been a noticeable increase in drug reactions and other non-infectious skin conditions.

“…Last but not the least, HIV-related vasculitis can also cause dermatologic involvement. Most of the cutaneous disorders in the context of HIV/AIDS are managed easily in outpatient settings; however, some of them cause significant morbidity and mortality [ 2 , 3 ]. Here, we have discussed every aspect of association of HIV infection and dermatology in detail.…”

Dermatological disorders are among the most prevalent manifestations of HIV infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In this review, we aimed to characterize the various dermatologic presentations among HIV-infected patients with a detailed categorization of the mucocutaneous signs and symptoms, their etiopathogenic factors, and clinical management. In fact, cutaneous manifestations of HIV are quite various, ranging from AIDS-specific skin eruptions (xerosis, pruritic papular eruptions, eosinophilic folliculitis, and acne), opportunistic infections (herpes simplex, molluscum contagiosum, cutaneous leishmaniasis, bacillary angiomatosis, disseminated histoplasmosis, disseminated cryptococcosis, and zoster) to AIDS-related malignancies (Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, and nonmelanoma skin cancers) and antiretroviral therapy (ART)-associated drug eruptions. We tried to classify HIV-related cutaneous presentations which can help clinicians for a better understanding of the various specific and nonspecific features of AIDS-associated cutaneous manifestations and management of the condition.
