Photos of small red dots at the beginning of AIDS
The little red dot at the beginning of AIDS refers to the acute rash of AIDS, which is the skin damage of some infected people after HIV first infects the human body. This type of rash usually occurs around 2-4 weeks after the virus enters the human body, and is commonly seen in infected areas such as the head, face, neck, chest, back, etc. It can also be seen in limbs and genitals.
People with lighter skin colors may have rashes of red or reddish brown, while those with darker skin colors may have rashes of purple or black. Most rashes are scattered and the number may also connect into fragments. This can manifest as a rash, papule, or papule with a small diameter, usually without itching, and occasionally with slight tenderness.
After appropriate symptomatic treatment or without any treatment, it can self subside within about a week. This rash has no specificity and is very similar to the viral symptoms caused by other viral infections, so it cannot be used as a diagnostic basis for AIDS. After high-risk exposure, even if similar rash symptoms appear, infection cannot be determined. If you want to diagnose whether the body is infected with HIV, you must rely on the laboratory's AIDS specific test results.
Can the tongue have symptoms at the beginning of AIDS?
At the early stage of HIV infection, most infected tongues will not have abnormal symptoms. Only a few infected tongues are red, with red spots on the surface or white and thick tongue coating, but the symptoms are atypical and fade away quickly. The most important thing is that the symptoms are not specific, and they cannot provide any information about HIV infection. When HIV first invades the human body for about 2-4 weeks, some infected people will have acute symptoms such as fever, headache, night sweat, fatigue, sore throat, which are basically the same as those caused by colds. They have diarrhea, defecation more than three times a day, and systemic rash.
The above symptoms in the acute phase last for 1-3. It can cure itself within a week, without any specificity and directionality, and cannot be used as a diagnostic basis for AIDS. If there is a high risk of exposure to AIDS, if you want to determine whether your body is infected with HIV, you must go to a regular institution for AIDS specific testing.
