HIV Rash

Hi,

I had unprotected sex with a girl I’ve been dating for a few weeks. I’ve had no symptoms really, except the past few days I’ve had a dry cough and today I’ve seen a very small patch of flat red pimples under the skin that look like freckles. They are not itchy nor raised, they are under the skin. I no longer speak to this girl and we only had sex once which was around 10-12 weeks ago. Could I be getting symptoms this late? Does anyone know the characteristics of a hiv rash?

Thanks so much

Those are NOT HIV symptoms.  If you are concerned, you can test any time now for your conclusive result.

Thanks for your response. Would I get symptoms of sero 10-12 weeks after?
No. ARS doesn't occur so late. Symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV, as suggested to you by CurfewX, instead of doing guess work, you could get a standard antibody test any time for a conclusive.
