Question 3

i was wondering are hiv rashes constant or do they come and go?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the rash: The rash associated with acute HIV (red flat rash over trunk ; sometimes face) occurs in 50% and is very transient.  Kaposi sarcoma lesions tend to stick around a long time with or without treatment.  Eosinophilic (allergic) dermatitis assoc w/hiv tends to stick around w/o therapy ; fungal infections do the same.  There are some specific rashes to late stage HIV which also stick around a long time.
