ARS Rash after 9 months??

[fear93]

Hello. I know this is an HIV prevention forum and thus symptoms don't mean anything but i've been told ARS holds only a couple of weeks starting from 2-4 weeks. if so, then is it possible one to have rash on his trunk, chest and back  after 9 months? i don't know how maculopapular rash really looks like but assuming one is infected, would he show signs of rash after so many months? they look like small red pimple-like bumps and i don't know if its really a rash or pimples on my body... help please?

i want to ask one last question because i can't find any useful info on rash. what does an hiv rash look like anyway? does it look like pimples? does it appear only with other symptoms, including fever? thank you and god bless.

Lizzie makes a great point.  That would be like a virgin thinking she had symptoms of pregnancy.  NO risk means no risk...you can NOT have HIV, therefore whatever symptoms you're having are related to something else..even possibly stress!

And NO, if a person DID have an HIV risk, they would never have an onset of ARS so late, and ARS would never persist that loing.

Let it go.  If you cannot accept that you don't have HIV, get some help.

HOW could it be related to ars / hiv when you had no exposure?  do you not understand this???????

You have been told repeatedly that you had no exposure. Obviously that means that your rash has nothing to do with ARS. Go see a doctor for your rash. There is nothing more that can be done for you here on this forum.

i know this but i'm asking is this rash related in any way to ARS or HIV?  it looks like pimples on my chest, trunk and back area. i have no other symptoms.

you had NO risk...as you've been told repeatedly

if you are having health concerns...see your dr...not a hiv forum.
