Onychomycosis (fungal nail infection) is common in HIV positive people. 

If your nails appear brittle, discoloured, ragged or dull, with debris under the nail, it may be a fungal infection. 

These infections are notoriously difficult to treat, and if over-the-counter antifungal creams don’t work, you can try a natural product such as tea tree or thyme oil.
