Despite the decrease in opportunistic infections associated with HIV in the highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) era, a significant number of patients still present with skin pathology, some of which can be attributed directly or indirectly to antiretroviral therapy.

Learn more about common side effects of antiretrovirals (ARVs) depending on the HIV medication type and what to consider if needing to switch medications.

Any ARV drug can cause rash. Note: A rash can be the initial manifestation of systemic hypersensitivity (see the SJS/TEN/EM major and HSR sections below). Sulfonamide allergy is a risk factor for rash in patients who are taking PIs that contain a sulfonamide moiety (i.e., DRV).

Conclusions: Early ART was accompanied with a high incidence of adverse skin reactions, which have decreased over time in association with overall better tolerated treatment regimens for HIV infection

NVP: Severe hepatotoxicity associated with skin rash or hypersensitivity. A 2-week NVP dose escalation may reduce risk. Risk is greater for women with pre-NVP CD4 counts >250 cells/mm 3 and men with pre-NVP CD4 counts >400 cells/mm 3.

2015年5月15日 · Darkening of the skin is attributable to HIV disease, as a result of the decrease in immune responses. It is also common to see vitamin D deficiency among people living HIV. It is similarly common to see that when one is taking antiretrovirals (ARVs), skin discoloration or uneven skin tone/pigmentation happens.
