Tinea corporis is a fungal infection that is not a symptom of the early stages of AIDS. However, if you have AIDS and have immune deficiency, you may be more likely to contract ringworm. If you suspect that you are at risk for HIV infection, it is recommended that you can go to a regular hospital and get tested for HIV antibodies to clarify whether you have the infection. Tinea corporis often occurs in the groin, perineum, and skin around the anus, and patients may experience itching or a burning sensation. Ringworm can be spread in daily life through personal items such as towels and underwear, as well as through direct contact, and may be caused by fungal infections elsewhere on the patient’s body. The full name of AIDS is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, which can be transmitted sexually, through blood transmission, and from mother to child. The initial symptoms of AIDS are similar to those of the flu and pharyngitis, such as fever, night sweats, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, general malaise, and loss of appetite, and usually do not initially manifest as symptoms of ringworm. Patients with tinea cruris should pay attention to keeping the local skin clean and dry in their daily life, and the patient’s underwear, toiletries, and other personal items need to be placed in isolation and washed separately. It is important to avoid scratching the affected skin and to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods and seafood products, and to actively pursue treatment.
