 I'm not sure which rash you are talking about. Established HIV infection is associated with a host of skin conditions that could be lumped together under the heading rash. They are often quite non-specific. Acute HIV infection is often associated with a transient rash in the location you described. Again, it is fairly non-specific and can be seen with other infections/conditions. KH | ||||||||
