Rash question

Hi everyone.

This is a pretty simple but informative question regarding the hiv rash during or after ARS.

Is the rash (if it happens) be all over the body or will it be only 3 or 4 pimples (acne looking like) on the chest and that go away after 3 or 4 days ?

Thanks.
God bless.

From what I've read/heard, a true ARS rash is similar to measles and it covers the upper torso, neck, arms and face.  A pimple or a cluster of 3, 4, 5 pimples in, say, the chest, a buttock, the back, the tigh, is just that, a pimple that will go away within few days.  The vast majority of people will get pimples from time to time.  Normally, you would not pay attention to them as they are normal body manifestations.  But if you are obessesing over HIV, then you will notice them very clearly and you will freak out (it's happened to me!!!).  Just get tested when the time is right and relax in the meantime.  Take care.

Big,

You've asked this before, but I'm guessing that anxiety is getting the better of you.

The rash is not pimple like. You'd really recognize it as a rash if you saw it on your own body. Check out google images and look for HIV rash or ARS rash to find some picks.

The rash doesn't even remotely resemble a pimple, and it is non-tender and almost always non-itchy.
