A female friend recently told me of an HIV-positive male friend of hers who recurrently shows signs of advanced AIDS such as the flat or raised red or purple lesions caused by the cancer Kaposi's sarcoma (or KS). However, she says he is not ill, and these lesions which appear on his face eventually disappear. The picture above is among the less gruesome ones I've seen of someone with KS, which can make light skin resemble pepperoni pizza. The woman and her friend are African-American. I don't know and didn't ask whether he is light- or dark-skinned.
