duration of hiv rash
Face or Body Rash. Many people experience a 'maculopapular rash' (a flat, red skin rash that's covered in raised bumps) in the early stages of HIV infection. The rash can appear anywhere on the body, but it will mostly be found on the face, chest and palms. It will probably last for about 2-3 weeks and should not itch or be irritating in any way. The rash may appear as ulcers in the mouth or on the genitals. Learn more about HIV rashes.
