About 10 days after a potential hiv exposure I noticed one area just above my love handles on each side of my body. Each area was about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide and consisted of about 5-6 red dots. I had nothing anywhere else, no fever, etc. but these two patches of red dots. I scratched one and it bled. By the next morning, both were almost completely faded away. Now about 6 weeks later, if you look real hard I can see bumps where the dots used to be. I did have a stress test right before I noticed the dots and before they put the leads on they scratch the hell out of you to make sure there is good contact. I am wondering if these areas could just be irriation from that or if, indeed, this could have been an hiv symptom. I know I need to be tested regardless as many people have no symptoms at all and I did have a potential exposure, but right now real afraid to even get tested since these areas, rashes, or whatever they are have me real nervous.
