Most skin conditions related to HIV disease may be helped
primarily by
a) highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
The goals of all HIV-related conditions include improvement of CD4
count and lowering of viral load. Initiation of HAART (highly active
antiretroviral therapy) will help improve most skin conditions related to
HIV disease. Symptomatic relief will be required until the skin
condition improves.
b) symptomatic therapies.
Initiation of HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) will help
improve most skin conditions related to HIV disease. Symptomatic
relief will be required until the skin condition improves.
c) low potency topical corticosteroid therapy.
High-potency, not low-potency, topical corticosteroid therapy may be
helpful for some skin conditions.
d) improvement of the patient’s nutritional status.
Improvement of the patient’s nutritional status is beneficial for the
overall treatment of HIV disease; it is not specific for treatment of skin
conditions.
