A member asked:

How can i tell if welts on stomach, back, arms, and armpit that are very itchy are caused by 4 different antibiotics 2 weeks ago? i'm worried that it could be hiv rash even though i had a neg. 4th gen ab/ag test 57 days post exposure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best is to stop the antibiotic/ antibiotics and see if the rash goes away. Use calamine lotion to the rash areas. Four antibiotics in 2 weeks seems excessive. have the rationale explained to you and let the prescriber know of your rash. HIV rash- cant be if test is neg Hope you feel better.
