HIV/AIDS and Dermatological Findings at a Glance: What Has Changed in the ART Era

This study examined 144 HIV-infected patients at Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital to assess the prevalence and diversity of skin disorders in the ART era. The results showed that 57.6% of patients had skin disorders, with condylomata acuminata (39.8%), telogen effluvium (16.9%), and scabies (9.6%) being the most common. The study found a higher frequency of condylomata acuminata and scabies in patients with a history of homosexual intercourse. Although the prevalence of dermatoses has decreased with ART, HIV is still associated with various skin conditions, highlighting the need for ongoing dermatological assessments in HIV care.
