acute/ars hiv itchy skin

Can ARS/Acute HIV cause you to itch all over your body?  About an hour ago I was itching all over, which has been happening for a few days now, and a rash with bumps but soon dissapeared shortly thereafter.

"Itching skin" is NOT generally observed in ARS nor is it in any way HIVspecific.

I don think my rash was HIV related, it was itchy with raised bumps that quickly dissapeared, but the itching all over the body, does beginning stage/ARS cause a symptom of itching?

Everything I have read says that the HIV rash is not ichy and it normally appears on the face, trunk, or feet.
