3.Skin Rashes

Most people with HIV develop skin problems. Rash is a common symptom of HIV, and many different types of skin rashes are associated with the condition. They may be a symptom of HIV itself or the result of a concurrent infection or condition.

Women with HIV can experience changes to their menstrual cycle. Their periods may be lighter and heavier than normal, or they may not menstruate at all. HIV-positive women may also have more severe premenstrual symptoms.
