The small red dots in the early stages of HIV are rashes.
The rash is more common during the acute HIV infection period, which generally refers to the first 3 months of HIV infection. The rash is usually red or dark red in color, small in diameter, independently scattered, and may subside on its own within 1 to 3 weeks. Other common symptoms during the acute infection period include fever, sore throat, nausea, night sweats, diarrhea, and vomiting, but they usually resolve on their own within 1 month.
The main modes of transmission of HIV are sexual, blood and mother-to-child transmission. If you have a history of high-risk exposure to HIV, it is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible to complete the examination and confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible.
