Is pityriasis rosea a hiv associated rash?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pityriasis rosea: Exact cause of Pityriasis rosea (PR) is not known, possibly viruses such as HHV-7 or HHV-8 or even influenza H1N1. Some authorities actually recommend testing for HIV and Lyme disease since rash can be similar in appearance. However, pityriasis rosea is not an HIV defining rash

No: Pityriasis rosea is a common skin disease, not necessarily associated with HIV infection, both conditions can co-exist
