HIV RASH past 2 weeks, now at post 6 weeks
So, starting the past 2 or 3 weeks, I've had slight rashes everywhere on my chest. But now, on my arms.
Left and Right, by the wrists, the underside, up and down up to the bend in my elbow. It isn't that noticeable, but it is there. Small red blotches. It is scary me to death.
I'm certain this is an HIV rash. Or that now I'm starting ARS but I don't want to "google" HIV RASH and see what it looks like because I'm sure this is it.
So scared. I don't know what to do. I thought my negative p24 blood test at 3 1/2 weeks was a pretty good result, although I know not yet conclusive.
Would an HIV rash be much more noticeable? These are very small. A few small blotches that come and go. Especially on the arms.

Don,t go jumping to conclusions so quickly.If that was indeed an ARS rash then your test would have most likely been positive,it was negative.The most common of the 3 classic ARS symptoms is high fever and you never had this.Just test at 12 weeks and don,t read to much into this rash at all.
I just don't get why I have all this redness on my undearms and my underwrist area up to the bend in my elbow. It is scary. It doesn't itch, which is even more proof towards ARS
That result is excellent as i said and the doctors in the expert forum have said this aswell.Just test at 12 weeks to be 100% conclusive.
well I have it on the trunk and I had a very sore throat for maybe 2 weeks. But I've never had the FEVER. I have redness on my arms and on the side of my body, those are more blotchy. On my arms it is small little red spots.
I'm pretty scared.
But I think my p24 Antigen is a good sign

That p24 test at 3 1/2 weeks is excellent because that,s when p24 antigen peaks.ARS rashes usually are found around the trunk--torso and limbs,they don,t itch and are usually part of the main 3 symptoms,the other 2 are very sore throat and very high fever.
What is it then?
I have redness on my arms, my the wrists, and on the side of my body by my armpits.
The red blotches, kind of like dried up marks. On the wrist and arm, they are small red spots, so that is why I'm worried. Small red lines and spots

ARS rash is not red blotches
