Possible HIV rash!!

by peter1414, Jul 18, 2009 03:25PM
Hi Guys,

i have been having a rash across my chest for about 1 and a half months now, and it is itching and looks like small red bumps which are characteristics of an HIV rash. I am really freaking out about it, i have not had any high fevers after exposure though i have had hot flashes and chills, and now a sore throat after 2 months. I only received unprotected oral sex which is supposedly risk-free but do you think these rashes are ars rashes? please help

your rash is not indicative of hiv.

my first rash was a macular rash so thats what made me think it was hiv related. the following ones were small, red ones that resemble viral rashes but why would i get so many viral rashes? do u have any suggestions of what else could cause rashes to keep recurring?

see your doctor if you are having health concerns...we cannot diagnose your rash.

yes i know you cant but im very scared because i feel like the following rashes were just do to different viruses causing me to get canker sores and on a website i read that hiv symptoms in the beggining can be due to the different viruses, bacterias, and fungi that infect your body. it says the symptoms include skin rashes and canker sores which had scared me.
