A member asked:

Can there be only 1 symptom after 3 weeks hiv exposure? i have some pimple non patchy like rash on neck and chest

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: There is no consistency to symptoms of HIV. None of the tests is 100% at three weeks. In about 12 weeks, you should get a test of HIV nucleic acids, if negative, it will essentially rule out HIV infection.
