Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Rash on the side of the knee is not a sign of HIV.
It can occur due to number of causes like eczema, drug rash or infection.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
