7. HIV and skin: an operational research (O.R.) in Tigray region, Ethiopia 1057. HIV AND SKIN: AN OPERATIONAL RESEARCH (O.R.)IN TIGRAY REGION, ETHIOPIA(Tigray Regional Health Bureau)(TMA, Tigray Medical Association)(IISMAS onlus - International Institute of Medical,Anthropological and Social Science)(S. Gallicano Dermatological Institute-Rome)(Italian Cooperation- HSDP)As for most Developing Countries, basic health services in Ethiopia are notavailable particularly to the large part of the population living in rural areas.Limited availability of qualified staff, poor diagnostic capability, scarcity ofequipment and medicines is a common situation in the country. These shortcomingsare even more dramatically evident at peripheral level where a minimumhealth service package is still not yet available to the population.Moreover, the problem is worsened and aggravated by the escalatingHIV/AIDS epidemic and its consequences. Ethiopia has the third largestnumber of people living with HIV in the world after South Africa andNigeria. Modelled data suggested a rise in prevalence of HIV in rural areas(2003: 2.6%) and in all Ethiopia (2003: 4.4%), but a stable or decliningprevalence in Addis Ababa (2003: 14.6%) and other urban areas (2003:11.8%). Modelled HIV incidence, inferred from prevalence changes, showeda slowly rising trend in Addis Ababa (2003: 2.0%), other urban areas (2003:1.7%) and rural Ethiopia (2003: 0.46%). The total burden of HIV/AIDS isexpected also to rise substantially due to population growth. Tigray is particularlyvulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to additional factors such as the socialdisorganization and population displacement related to the protracted armedstruggle, the Ethio-Eritrean war, recurrent famines and drought, rapid urbanizationand the huge number of female headed households in both the ruraland urban areas. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Tigray in 2005 is estimatedto be 4.7% and the epidemic appears to be intensifying. The skin is probablythe organ most commonly affected in patients with HIV. The range ofskin diseases in patients who are HIV-positive is broad, encompassing bothHIV and non-HIV related dermatoses. The immune status of the patient, reflectedin the CD4 T-cell count and viral load, is an important parametersince there is often a strong correlation between the CD4 count and the presenceof particular HIV-associated rashes. Correlation of skin diseases and
