title: Managing HIV. Part 5: Treating secondary outcomes. 5.1 HIV and skin disease.
abstract: The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body, and a perception of good health depends on its appearance as well as its function. As about 90% of HIV-infected patients develop cutaneous signs and symptoms, diagnosis and management are vital in recognising progression of HIV infection.
