ARS RASH QUESTION

ARS RASH QUESTION

Hello.  I went to sleep after working out.  I woke up with a non raised red blotchy patch / rash on my inner bicep.  I took a shower and put aveeno moistureizing cream on it.  In about 60 minutes it disappeared.  The rash was the size of half a soda can.  It wasnt located anywhere else.  It didnt itch.

Does this sound like an ars rash?

Are ARS rashes bilateral?

Are ARS rashes all over ones body?

Could an ARS rash only last 8 hrs?

Could ARS start after 8 weeks?

Thanks for your time!!!

Vaginal sex.  Not sure if condom was used as I fell off the wagon after 4 years.  Brief oral.  Please answer my first set of questions as well.

Thanks my anxiety is high.

Your rash has nothing to do with HIV. ARS if one has it comes on 2-4 weeks post exposure and lasts 1-2weeks. You can test 3 months post exposure and your test result will be conclusive.

Could an ars rash last a couple of hours and disappear?

Would the cream make it disappear if its ars?

Lastly could it appear only on a bicep or is it more generalized?  Please answer.

Thanks

Last question

Is ars rash typically in one spot, as I described or all over ones body?

I can't find the answer anywhere.  Maybe it hasn't been asked.

All over your trunk and limbs and you would have an ARS rash without other symptoms to go along with it.
