HIV related?!
Question: HIV related!?
Not long ago my x girl friend developed a red rash on her face and fore arms!.During the onset the rash suddenly appeared as numerous sports on both described places then after about 3 hrs disappeard completely from her arms but remained on her face in reduced amounts for almost 2 weeks!.Shortly after (after the 2 weeks) she developed a fever with a temperature of 39 degrees c,a headache, a dry cough and a servere sore throat!.This lasted for about a week!.
My main conscern is this!.Is the behaviour of the rash typical of the HIV rash!? I am realy scared now!.I just developed a sore throat and a cough without fever or headache!.
We broke up because I have reasons to believe that she was cheating on me!.
Eagerly waiting for a reply!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Rash occurs only in late stage AIDS -- not as an initial symptom of HIV!. I don't know where people are getting this misinformation!. Rashes are extremely common - a reaction from something irritating to the skin, an initial viral response; an allergic reaction to something eaten, etc!.!.!.!.
Here's the thing about HIV!. Although there is this whole thing about the initial HIV "cold" -- 9 times out of 10, the symptoms are only "remembered" later after diagnosis!. And are VERY MILD and can be attributed to many different problems - like a cold or a virus or a bacterial infection!. You cannot use those symptoms to self diagnosis with HIV!.
It sounds more like your ex had a virus or bacterial infection!. Your symptoms were probably caught from her or from the millions of other people with an upper respiratory infection!.
If you are so freaked out A) get tested and B) don't ever have sex without using protection!.
It is that simple - if you are not in a committed (i!.e!. married) monogamous relationship then you have no guarentees that your partner will be faithful (you don't really have if you are married either but it implies a higher level of knowledge about the person and trust)!. So use protection each and every time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
