Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are frequently associated with diverse mucocutaneous manifestations. However, few studies of HIV/AIDS-related mucocutaneous manifestations have been reported in China. Objective To investigate the occurrence of mucocutaneous disorders and their relationship with the degree of immunosuppression in 348 HIV-infected Chinese patients. The influence of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the spectrum of mucocutaneous manifestations was also evaluated. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed on 348 HIV-infected Chinese patients seen at the Guangxi Longtan Hospital from August 2010 to November 2010. Collected information included demographic data, HIV-associated mucocutaneous disorders, CD4 cell count, AIDS-defining illness and antiretroviral therapy.

The prevalence of mucocutaneous disorders in the patients who had received HAART was lower than in those without HAART (54.05% vs. 88.76%, P
