Rash is not a sign of HIV .But depending on the contour of the rash and associated symptoms we can be more clear as to what has caused it.
Rashes could occur due to allergic reaction,it could occur in autoimmune disorders
The picture you have uploaded looks like fungal infection.
Candid derma locally is the drug of choice
