Since the prevalence of psoriasis is between 1.5 to 2 percent, it would be expected to occur by chance in a person infected with HIV who is genetically predisposed to psoriasis. Several studies in the literature on HIV/AIDS-associated psoriasis have reported such percentages of frequency. Although psoriasis is a low priority for a patient with HIV/AIDS who is coping with many other cutaneous conditions and cancers, when treating the HIV/AIDS-infected psoriatic patient, immunosuppressive drugs are contraindicated because of their serious impact on an already immunodeficient person.
由于银屑病的患病率在1.5%至2%之间，在具有银屑病遗传易感性的HIV感染者中，预计会偶然出现银屑病。文献中关于HIV/AIDS相关银屑病的几项研究报告了这样的发生频率百分比。尽管对于患有许多其他皮肤疾病和癌症的HIV/AIDS患者来说，银屑病并非首要关注问题，但在治疗感染HIV/AIDS的银屑病患者时，免疫抑制药物是禁忌的，因为它们会对已经免疫缺陷的人产生严重影响。
