title: HIV-related skin disease.
abstract: Most patients with HIV infection will develop an HIV-related lesion of the skin or mucous membranes before their progression to AIDS. As the skin is readily observed by patients and easily examined by doctors, skin disease presents a good opportunity for the early diagnosis of HIV infection.
