What does the rash associated with HIV look like? where does it appear & how long after infection? i was stuck with a sharp object 6 wks ago

about two weeks ago i got a rash right in the middle of my chest (clustered bumps), it goes away & comes back. saturday got a similar rash on my wrist. i know for a fact that i was purposly stuck with some sort of sharp object by a stranger who disapeared into a crowd at a halloween music festival. i plan on getting checked after the three months pass so that i get an accurate test result but for now i stay curious.

Do not play around ! If you have questions about somthing you did and it might be a question with Aids..Get to the Doctor NOW..They can run a simple test and you can have the results in a day or two...
If you are doing somthing as stupid as I V use or unsafe sex...STOP..
Practice safe sex until marriage. Do not share needles. Never share the same straw if you are sniffing..Rember direct fluid contact is a NO NO.
There are alot of disease's you do not want to get.
If you have a problem..talk to the Parents or a Teacher,or somone at the Church. alot of people do care about what you do.

I have thought alot about this Question. It could be Hives also. When under alot of stress the body will react by giving you a rash. Have a Doctor check you're Thyroyd Levels also. Take care and I hope this helps.

If you really got stabbed in a crowd of people, you should still file a police report.
