Abstract
Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, presents unique challenges when co-occurring with HIV. Tildrakizumab, an IL-23p19 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in treating moderate-to-severe psoriasis. This retrospective case series reports three individuals living with HIV and psoriasis treated with tildrakizumab. Clinical outcomes, including Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and HIV viral load, were recorded over a year. All three patients achieved significant clinical improvements with tildrakizumab, with PASI scores improving by over 95%. No adverse effects were reported, and HIV viral loads remained undetectable. Tildrakizumab appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for psoriasis in individuals living with HIV, providing significant benefits without compromising HIV control.
