Thank yiu so much all the doctors on Lybrate for quick response. Please answer me as soon as possible. I have been worried about hiv since last 1 year. I faced all the symptoms of hiv after my possible encounter. I tested 8-10 times by hiv tri dot test kit and 2 times strip test kit (hiv 1/2 rapid test kit). After completion of 9 months I tested for hiv by tri dot test kit (negative) & then for conclusion I went for western blot test from Dr. lal path labs (negative). Then after completion of 1 year I tested again for tri dot test which was negative. But still I am facing an issue of rash which appears suddenly with burning sensation and then disappears within hours. And it happens again and again. I am worried that it could be hiv rash. I have question which I mention below. 1) can we consider this rash as an hiv rash? 2) from my test results can we come on conclusion that I am hiv negative? 3) how long hiv blotch lasts? Thank you.

The rash can last for 1 to 2 weeks as the body tries to fight the infection. The rash often appears as a red area of skin with tiny bumps.
