What are the symptoms 2 years after possible HIV infection? Itchy circular rash on ankle and dry skin and hair

Here is the real answer:





Any symptoms that people may experience early on in HIV infection (acute HIV infection) would occur 2-4 weeks after infection...possibly as long as a few months....that is when a rash is likely to form (if you experience symptoms, not everyone does).





After the initial acute infection period is over, people enter what is called the asymptomatic stage of HIV disease. Asymptomatic means no symptoms. This stage can last on average 8 years (without medical intervention). It is possible that during this stage, a person may experience unexplained swollen lymph nodes for a relatively long period of time, and it is possible that they may experience thrombocytopenia (a blood disorder).





This of course depends on the person's immune function at 2 years (how many CD4 cells are present in the blood). With greater than 500 (which the majority of people will be at after opnly two years), the POSSIBLE symptoms may include:


-chronic vaginal yeast infections (women)


-swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy)


-Aseptic meningitis is possible but rare


-Myopathy is possible but rare


-Guillan-Barre syndrome is possible but relatively rare





Basically, it is unlikely that the person at 2 years post infection would have ANY major symptoms as their immune system is still strong enough to fight off infections/cancers.





An HIV test is the only way to know if you or someone else is infected. (The same goes for any STI, as many people infected show NO SYMPTOMS).





Hope this helps,|||Skin Cancer and Perhaps a lung infection.|||when you have HIV you get flu like symptoms except you keep getting sick, it seems to me you have a ring worm on your ankle and dandruff.|||The source below talks about hiv skin rash.
