Entry schankers

Does anyone know what an entry hiv schanker (primary schanker) would look like? Are they common in case of transmission? How would they possibly look an a penis head and what time from infection would they likely form and how long would they stay?

Primary chancres are generally associated with syphilis. I wasn't aware people had chancres with HIV.

Chanker sores have nothing to do with HIV and are not HIV specific.
