 There are many skin conditions that are common in HIV+ persons on or off treatment. In the majority of cases flare up of skin rashes would rarely be a clue that an otherwise effective HIV regimen is no longer effective though that is possible. A clinical and blood test evaluation should be able to quickly sort that out so recommend seeing your HIV doc. KH | ||||||||
