| Response from Dr. Henry
 A rash localized to a band like region in the skin (lower back a common location) with pain/blisters could well be shingled (herpes zoster). I recommend seeing your HIV doc for diagnosis and treatment (if zoster treatment can result in faster healing and management of post-herpetic neuralgia if that develops). KH | ||||||||
