Abstract
Cutaneous manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are predominantly the consequence of the progressive loss of immunocompetence leading to immune dysregulation and opportunistic infections. Occasionally, the virus itself can cause cutaneous manifestations. A variety of neoplastic, infectious, and noninfectious diseases may present with dermatologic findings throughout the course of HIV disease and correlate directly with a declining CD4+ T cell count. This chapter will review the clinical presentations of common dermatologic conditions that may present in the setting of HIV infection as well as noninfectious and infectious disorders in patients with advanced disease.
