Navigating Mucocutaneus Diseases in HIV/AIDS

Mucocutaneous diseases are prevalent in individuals with HIV/AIDS, significantly impacting their quality of life and overall health. These conditions include oral lesions, dermatitis, and infections, often exacerbated by immune suppression. Accurate diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation, as mucocutaneous manifestations can mimic other diseases. Management strategies involve antiretroviral therapy to improve immune function, along with targeted treatments for specific lesions and infections. Awareness of these complications is vital for healthcare providers to enhance patient care and implement preventive measures. Effective navigation of mucocutaneous diseases can lead to improved health outcomes and better quality of life for those living with HIV/AIDS.
