ARS Rash

ARS Rash

Well it has been 8+ weeks since possible exposure from receptive fellatio.

I am now beginning to break out in some sort of rash on my chest. Looks like a bunch of pimples, but I don't have any reason to be breaking out. That's about all I can say what the rash looks like, is scattered zits on my chest. Not itchy or sore in any way, just red spots that I noticed after a shower. Thought it might just be from the shower, but 3-4 hours later still there. Have been noticing them for about 3 days now. Also headache still there after 6 weeks, as well as sore neck, sore throat, and a few other symptoms as well.

Can anyone tell me what the rash would look like? Is it possible rash would start this late after exposure? 8 weeks that is. Just trying to reasure my self. Some days I'm better than others.

Thanks for all responses in advance, and God bless all.

Thanks Chris, that is a good picture of the rash.

Was wandering if anyone could elaborate on the rest of my post?

Thanks

Your symptoms dont sound consistant with ARS.

I am sure you'll be fine. For some reason maybe stressing out a lot will trigger a rash. I never got rashes on my arms, and then tested negative out to 3 months, but now get one on my arm every time i shower. Whatever you've been going through though doesn't sound anything like ARS. You'll test negative

Interesting.  That picture of the rash looks very much like scattered pimples.  I am not concerned for myself, but curious if it typically covvers a large area, or is small?

When I cut and paste your link above, it reverts to Heat-Rashes. when i type it, it actually shows the picture. Try it and let me know.

I guess that stuff really can happen with cut and paste. I always used it as an excuse when I got caught looking at porn at work. Just Kidding! Maybe!

By no means are these ARS rashes -- there are no specific rashes for ARS. The second rash is a shingles type rash I think. A lot of rashes look very similar and have hundreds of causes, both viral and bacterial.

Once again, there is no specific ARS rash
