!!: While some HIV rashes are mild, others can be severe and even life threatening, due to the level of damage caused to the skin. Two forms of serious skin rashes that can develop through use of anti-hiv drugs are stevens-johnson syndrome (sjs) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (ten).Both can be life-threatening. Seek medical attention immediately.

Recommend prompt: assessment. This rash needs to be visualized & a history needs to be obtained in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Sometimes lab testing or biopsy is necessary.
