A member asked:
I was diagnosed with hiv early june , 2022, since then i have been on effective art. i started seeing some rash on the top of my chest and parts of my back. i took loratidine for 10 days and it is cleared. should i stick to the loratidine?

If the rash recurs with stopping the loratadine, you should see your doctor to find out the etiology of the rash. If it is an allergic reaction to the HIV medicine, there are alternatives available. So, see if the rash recurs without the loratadine as it might not. If it does, see your doctor. Good luck!
