Hello Doctor,
I've recently developed something similar to a rash....I dont know if it really falls under a rash or not, but they look like moles so dark; dark brown-black.....but they're not as round and regular in shape like normal moles they're more irregular. They're not a whole lot, but they're present in a considerable number. the ones on the face are smaller than the ones on my arm, chest and back. Also, i'm much more fatigued than normal and have some muscular, bone mild aches. I DONT have any fevers, sore throats, or anything else. I stress on the fact that those skin spots are almost black in colour....could this be a rash or is a rash red in colour? I'm worried about HIV because of a high risk exposure 3 months ago...

so my question is, are those signs of ARS?
Also, do rashes caused by HIV in the early stages, go away after a while or persist? And most importantly, did what I describe, especially the rash , sound like an ARS symptom...?


I always thought that a fever and a sore throat is close to a must in all ARS cases but i guess I'm wrong.

I'm really in need of an answer.


P.S: Such a service is really the clearest message to show that there are still doctors that are willing to help just for the sake of helping and educating, with no self interest involved.

the rash of ARS is like measles. It's red and spread in a blotchy way over the body. It is NOT bumps. Fever, rash, sore throat, body aches are typical of ARS.
