Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The rashes associated with HIV do not develop due to the infection directly but usually is a result of secondary bacterial infections or viral infections that are seen commonly associated with HIV infection. The rash is commonly generalized in appearance and usually subsides with 1% hydrocortisone ointment locally.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
