Hi
Thanks for your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is
1. Low platelet count is not linked to lichen planus.
2. Presence of lichen planus does not indicate HIV.
3. If you have got a blood test done and that is seropositve, then it indicates HIV.
4. Your platelet counts are below the lower limit of normal range, so it can cause skin or mucosal bleeds with trivial injury.
5. If you have bleeding symptoms seek immediate medical attention.
6. Lichen planus is a sclerotic condition of the skin, not an infection, so not of much concern.
Hope this helps.
