The HIV rash is mainly a red rash without itching symptoms that appears early in the infection and may be painful when pressed.
About 1-2 weeks after the initial invasion of HIV, a red or reddish-brown rash will appear on the skin of the infected person, mostly macules or papules, without itching symptoms, and is most common on the face, neck, and trunk, and in severe cases, it may appear all over the body, and it will get better on its own in about 3 weeks.
In the acute phase of AIDS, the rash is usually single, scattered, and may be painful when pressed, and some patients may also have fever, fatigue, sore throat and other symptoms.
If you have these symptoms, you need to go to the hospital to find out the cause of the rash. If the diagnosis of AIDS is confirmed, patients need to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review and treatment.
