In the early stage of HIV infection, goosebumps do not occur because they are usually caused by two reasons in our daily life, i.e., when it is cold, or when we are frightened, we may also get goosebumps. Some patients will develop a rash after HIV infection, but this rash is completely different from goose bumps, which are sandy and grainy, whereas AIDS rash is a red rash scattered over many parts of the body, so goose bumps are not a clinical symptom of the acute phase of AIDS.
