👉 Aids pimples, also known as drug-induced acne or acne exacerbated by antiretroviral therapy (ART), are a common skin condition experienced by individuals living with HIV/AIDS. These pimples typically arise due to the side effects of certain antiretroviral medications, which can disrupt normal skin function and lead to inflammation and oiliness. Common culprits include protease inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and integrase strand transfer inhibitors. The condition manifests as enlarged, red, and sometimes painful bumps on the skin, often appearing on the face, chest, and back. Managing aids pimples involves adjusting medication regimens under medical supervision, maintaining good skincare practices, and addressing underlying immune system issues.
