Papules very scared

[japple845]

I have had these papules all over my chest and arms for a least 2-3 weeks now and im very concerned that it is related to hiv, its been like 8weeks since possible exposure, they are round raised bumps that look like hair follicles. when i scratch them they start to flake off and become dry. Does anyone know if this type of rash is related to hiv rash? please help im very worried

im sorry, i meant what is an hiv rash and how does it normally last.

That's what dermatologist are for. You can't be diagnosed over the Internet.

[japple845]

then what is it? and how long does it normally last?

HIV rash is NOT papules.

[japple845]

ok but is the time frame that the rash is occurring inconsistent with an hiv type rash?
