AB KEY  POINTSHuman  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  infection  is  associated  with  a  wide  range  of  dermatologic  conditions.Mucocutaneous  findings,  such  as  thrush,  sebopsoriasis,  and  herpes  zoster,  may  manifest  as  the  initial  clinical  presentation  of  HIV  infection.Some  HIV-associated  skin  conditions  first  appear  with  deteriorating  immunity,  especially  when  CD4  counts  fall  less  than  200  cells/μL.  The  appearance  of  the  skin  disease  can  reflect  the  patient's  immune  status.Antiretroviral  therapy  dramatically  reduces  morbidity  and  mortality  for  HIV-infected  patients  and  has  a  profound  effect  on  the  appearance  and  course  of  many  skin  conditions,  ie,  Kaposi  sarcoma  (KS).  However,  skin  problems  may  continue  to  affect  individuals  living  with  HIV.
