Just out of curiosity... - HIV Prevention Message Board

I'm not actually worried about this, but I am interested, the rash that is associated with HIV...when does that usually occur, and how long does it last?
Is it painful? Where does it usually appear?

it effects every person differently,
so there is no real answer to your question.

Dear smiteler :
I've swollen neck above collarbone(left), and lately I always feel 'fever' like. And kept sweating around my neck and my hand too. I'm felt weak.

Already do the HIV blood test, but the results need to wait 1 weeks. Now I feel really depressed. Cause the thyroid doctor that I seen, say it could be HIV. Really lost my appetite ...

Kept thinking I possible infected HIV ...

Oh...so it could occur at anytime?

i had a rash that started in less then a day from my exposure,i couldn't say it was real painful or not because i had other symptoms that were alot worse. my ex never got a rash at all. so there are 2 extremes right there. the symptoms (or rash) from hiv are never the same from person to person, so you can never say whats usual or not,thats why there is no real answer to your question and why you should never go by any symptoms to diagnose.
