Red Dots On Arms

Tags: red dots, skin, sex, HIV

I had unprotected sex with a new partner about five weeks ago and I recently developed about ten small red dots on my arms. They are pretty spaced apart but they are on both arms and a few on my back. I have a history of dry skin and dermatitis issues but I'm still somewhat concerned about the HIV rash. Is this description at all indicative of something I should be concerned about? How does the rash usually manifest?

Your rash has nothing to do with ARS. Test at 3 months for a concluisve result.

PANTHER77: no need to "symptom compare".

10 small red dots are NOT indicative of an ars rash.
