HIV connection

Hi everyone and thank-you
Is there any correlation with neck pain and stiffness and sinus infections with HIV infection. Also what does an HIV rash on the face look like? I have had a reddish rash on my upper cheek area for about 6-8 weeks now. It sort of looks like wind burn, but it obviously isn't. Could this be some type of HIV rash? It doesn't itch at all. I am sorry if these questions sound silly, but I have found stuff online saying these could be signs of HIV. I really need some expert insight and thoughts on these issues please. You all seem to be very knowledgeable. I am having trouble with all of this obviously. Thank-you very much for your compassion.

What is silly is you trying to put your symptoms to HIV and you've never had a risk.

sinus problems have nothing to do with primary hiv infection. hiv symptoms are usually similar to those of meningitis symptoms. anyway, anyone on this sight or any other sight will tell you that symptoms mean nothing when it comes to actually being infected with hiv. so, do yourself a favor and don't look to deeply into it or you  will definitely feel every single symptom that you research online. sounds like you have an allergic reaction to something or the common cold.
