Guidelines on the treatment of skin and oral HIV-associated conditions in children and adults

Several infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic skin and mucosal conditions are pathognomonic of HIV/AIDS, e.g. Kaposi sarcoma, herpes zoster, papular pruritic eruption and extensive candidiasis. The World Health Organization’s department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health in collaboration with HIV/AIDS has selected ten skin and mucosal conditions based on burden of disease and has developed the guidelines on treatment. There is also an accompanying tool on the clinical algorithms for the recognition of these conditions.
