A member asked:

Hiv rashes are they early symtoms or later stage symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both and neither: There is marked variability in the symptoms of HIV. Rashes can occur at any stage and may not occur at all. If you have any doubt, get tested. God forbid, you test positive, there are effective treatments.
