What Is an HIV Skin Rash?
Anti-HIV medications can cause mild skin rashes as well as serious, even life-threatening rashes. The vast majority of HIV skin rashes are mild to moderate. They usually appear within a few weeks of starting a new medication and often go away with continued use of the medication. However, because some rashes can be serious, you should contact your doctor if you notice a skin rash. He or she will advise you on how to best manage the condition.
