What should AIDS patients do about gray nails?

When AIDS patients develop gray nails (onychomycosis), the following measures should be taken: 1. Continuous antiviral treatment: Ensure continuous and effective antiviral therapy for AIDS, which is the foundation for controlling the progression of onychomycosis. Take medications such as lamivudine tablets and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets as prescribed to manage the HIV condition. 2. Local treatment for onychomycosis: For gray nails, the affected nails can be soaked in agents such as acetic acid or salicylic acid to soften and promote shedding of the infected nail. Patients with severe symptoms may, under a doctor's guidance, take oral antifungal medications such as itraconazole capsules or fluconazole capsules. 3. Personal hygiene and protection: Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid sharing shoes and socks with others, keep the feet clean and dry, and wear breathable shoes and socks whenever possible. 4. Regular monitoring and adjustment: Regular follow-up examinations are necessary during treatment to monitor the recovery process, and treatment plans should be adjusted according to medical advice. When AIDS patients develop onychomycosis, comprehensive management should include antiviral treatment, local treatment for the nail infection, attention to personal hygiene, and regular monitoring, in order to achieve overall control of the disease.
