Hi Wins, Psoriasis is associated with many diseases not only HIV. Psoriasis is a historical skin disease. Its evidence was found in The Bible and before biblical era but HIV infection was noticed in the USA in 1980. Therefore, association is made now-a days. HIV infected patients can develop various skin diseases' psoriasis is one of them. Chance of psoriasis patient to infected with HIV is same as normal/Healthy person. So, no need to worry Psoriasis is a controllable disease not yet curable. Please visit/consult a dermatologist or search on internet for further information about psoriasis.
