Kaposi's Sarcoma - after four weeks?
      #230294 - 09/02/07 04:04 PM

How quickly does Kaposi's Sarcoma manifest? In addition to what I believe are new moles, I also have a couple of flat red spots on my shoulder now.

KP most generally starts on the feet, and works its way up....most specific to MSM. If you are worried about your skin condition go to a dermatologist.

4 weeks after my exposure I did have a purple blotch in my right hand. I thought it was KS, I went to one of my HIV specialist and he practically rolled his eyes all over. I think that KS cannot develop after 4 weeks after infection. But as the previous member said, go and see a dermatologist.

OK. Going mad with paranoia, probably. It's not like I've never had spots before. Keep noticing the vein on my right arm too. I suppose it's always been there. But... :(
