Correlation of skin diseases and HIV<\/jats:styled-content> has long been recognized and used to guide medical management in resource\u2010limited settings. Therefore, this study aims to assess the correlation of skin diseases and HIV<\/jats:styled-content> infection, to estimate epidemiological distribution in the study area, and to provide health workers of skin indicators for HIV<\/jats:styled-content> early detection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>The operational research was designed as a case\u2010control study and carried out in three intervention districts of T<\/jats:styled-content>igray region; baseline and final data on skin diseases and HIV<\/jats:styled-content> were compared with those of three control districts matched for population size, density, and environmental characteristics. Health workers of intervention districts were trained on skin diseases\/STI<\/jats:styled-content>s diagnosis and treatment. Data were collected from study and control districts and then analyzed at the I<\/jats:styled-content>talian D<\/jats:styled-content>ermatological C<\/jats:styled-content>entre (IDC<\/jats:styled-content>) in M<\/jats:styled-content>ekele.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>In the research period, a total of 1044 HIV<\/jats:styled-content> positive patients were detected. Disorders of skin and mucous membranes statistically related with HIV<\/jats:styled-content> (P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0<\u00a00.05) were tongue papillary atrophy (80%), oral hairy leukoplakia (69%), herpes zoster (66%), oral candidiasis (50%), pruritic papular eruption (43%), condylomata acuminata (38%), and telogen effluvium (27%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The high frequency of oral disorders and telogen effluvium is not described in literature and may be indicative for case detection.
