AIDS starts with small red dots on the head, face, neck, chest and back. Early AIDS red dots are the acute phase of AIDS rash, which is a skin lesion at the site of infection that appears at the beginning of HIV infection.
This rash of AIDS usually occurs about 2-4 weeks after the virus enters the body and is commonly found on the infected head, face, neck, chest and back. It can also be seen in the extremities and genitals, and for people with lighter skin tones, the rash can be red or reddish brown. For people with darker skin tones, the rash can be purple or black.
Most rashes will appear occasionally, and when there are a large number of them, the rash will join together in pieces and can appear as a red blotchy rash, erythematous papules, and pimples. They are small in diameter, usually without itching, and occasionally with slight pressure.
With appropriate symptomatic treatment or without any treatment, they can subside on their own in about 1-3 weeks. This rash is not specific and is very similar to viral symptoms caused by other viral infections, therefore it cannot be used as a basis for diagnosis of AIDS and must rely on the results of laboratory AIDS-specific tests.
When the above signs appear, you should go to the hospital in time for appropriate examination and take treatment measures to avoid delaying your condition.
