Hi Axel , Rashes are common and can be caused by a whole variety of different reasons . There is no way of knowing what has caused yours by looking at a photo . If you think there is a chance you have been exposed to HIV you need to get tested to know for sure .

Thanks for replying Griffon,I have to wait another month to do the test. I am aware that there is no way to know other than the test. I just wish I knew if these buttons could be similar

All I can tell you is that I never had s rash at all when I became infected . It is much more likely that yours is caused by some other reason .

Thank you, I'm stressed, I can't wait to do the test. I'll be back here for the result

That would be great if you will come back with the result . Lots of people come here asking about HIV rash , it is one of the most commonly asked questions . Posting photos of rashes that are confirmed negative or positive would be a good help to others asking the same question .

Try not to worry , there are lots of things more likely to be causing this rash than HIV !

But no fever and no headache

Could be an STI , all of which are much easier to catch than HIV .
