I believe that the rashes dont come until you have full blown Aids. They look like sores more than a rash. they also get brown spots all over body.

Being diagnosed HIV+ over 2 years ago, I have never developed any type of rashes. I think this happens when the HIV virus turns to AIDS. There's a good web site out there called TheBody I think it is, and it answers all kinds of questions for people who are HIV+ They usually get back to you with an answer within a day.

Rashes are just one of the things that might show up. Someone with HIV is susceptible to anything, both the fatal diseases and the annoying ones. If they have HIV I would image that rashes are not high on their list of problems.

karposi sarcoma - little red bumps that look like blood blisters. But this happens deep into the stages, like full blown AIDS
