Abstract
Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) frequently develop skin diseases that are responsive to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Studios on the effects of UV on HIV and on the Immune system in vitro and in transgenic animals have raised questions regarding the safety of UV exposure in these patients. In this article, invited experts address issues concerning the safety of ultraviolet therapy in HIV-Infected patients by discussing their clinical and/or research experience.
