HIV rash is a common symptom of HIV infection. Around 85% of HIV positive individuals will experience a rash at some point in their infection, due to either:
Acute HIV infection
A weakened immune system caused by chronic infection
A bad reaction to anti-HIV medication

SYMPTOMS:
When people are first infected with HIV, they may experience an acute, 'flu-like' illness called a 'seroconversion illness,' about 2-4 weeks after being infected. The HIV rash is a symptom of this condition.
The rash will mostly affect the upper part of the body and will probably be found on the shoulder, chest area (as in the picture below), face, torso and palms of the hands.
Typically the rash will be flat or barely raised with small reddish dots/ spots (resembling eczema) in people with light skin, and dark purple/ black in people with dark skin.
The rash is not usually itchy and it tends to disappear within 3 weeks.

If you do notice this kind of rash and it's associated with any other acute symptoms of HIV, you should get HIV tested immediately.
You can order an HIV test kit online from one of our doctors, and find out your status within two days.
Over-the-counter medications like Benadrul or Hydrocortisone Cream can be used to heal rash and lessen itching.
Try to avoid hot baths, showers and direct sunlight if possible.

During ongoing HIV infection, as your immune system becomes damaged, you may experience red and itchy (pruritic) skin.
You may experience a number of skin conditions including:
Psoriasis: Scaly lesions on elbows, hands and feet. Pre-existing psoriasis can also be exacerbated by new HIV infections.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis: Occurs on the scalp, ears, eyebrows, chest axillae, groin and feet.
Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis: Acne or pimples may appear around hair follicles on the upper arms and chest.
In addition to this, you may notice blisters in the 'moist' areas of the body such as the mouth, genitals and eyes.

Individuals with both HIV and herpes will experience very severe HIV rashes, making related symptoms and outbreaks much worse.
Rashes may appear red and filled with fluid. They may periodically burst and crust over.

Treatment:
Ongoing HIV rash can be managed with steroid creams and antihistamines, but these conditions will be difficult to eradicate completely and recurrence is common.

HIV rash can be itchy, irritating and unsightly. But there are ways of managing outbreaks:
Avoid hot showers or baths.
Use only mild toiletries and detergents.
Wear cool fibres like cotton and stay away from wool.
Invest in an air-humidifier.
Use moisturisers/ emollients or calamine lotion.
