Human immunodefiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections have had major effects on the field of medicine over the past 2 decades. Dermatologic manifestations are common and may be the presenting complaint in either disease. Clinicians should be aware of these cutaneous conditions so that the underlying disease may be properly diagnosed.
