rashes Apr 11, 2002 Hello there, I had an exposure about 9 months ago. I had the classical sympyoms of ARS after two weeks of exposure. There was a very very mild fever lasting 14 days. I manifested a non-pruritic, macular rash on my arms that went away in 4 hours. That time I had no swollen nodes..etc When the doctor saw this he said only serious infections cause these kind of rashes. Is it true that I have hiv or a disease like hiv.Please comment..I had a negative elisa at 9 months. |

Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hi, I think either you misunderstood what your doctor was saying or you need a new doctor. Very mild fever and a non-pruritic rash that disappears in 4 hours are usually not associated with serious infections! Your HIV test 9 months after exposure is negative, so you definitely do not have HIV. You also do not have any other "serious infection" as a result of the transient, very mild symptoms you describe. Clear up this misunderstanding with your doctor or clear out of that doctor's office for good! Stay well. Dr. Bob |
