Is dry skin a symptom of ARS

Just wanted to find out if dry skin a symptom of ARS. Is it part of the gamut of ARS symptoms. I know symptoms is not a good indicator of primary HIV infection. Basically just wondering if dry skin is part of the list along with the usual stuff.

I'm sorry. I am trying to move on and I am seeing a therapist to help me. It's just that I developed dry skin recently in the arms and read that this is associated with HIV. I also got other symptoms like pharyngitis, muscle and joint pains a week after the handjob plus this now freaked me out. I dont think its part of ARS but wanted to make sure.

Once again. Sorry for continuing to post.
