Introduction
In general, red spots in the early stage of HIV infection commonly appear on the head, face, neck, anterior chest, back, and limbs. After HIV infection occurs, the virus invades the body and stimulates the capillaries, causing capillary dilation, which leads to the appearance of red spots on the head and face. If patients experience any discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital to avoid delaying treatment.
In general, red spots in the early stage of AIDS usually appear on the head and face, neck, anterior chest, back, limbs, and other areas. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Head and Face
After HIV infection, the virus invades the body and stimulates capillaries, causing capillary dilation, which leads to the appearance of red spots on the head and face.
2. Neck
HIV invasion triggers an immune response in the body, damaging local skin and mucous membranes, resulting in red spots, papules, and similar symptoms on the neck.
3. Anterior Chest
As the disease progresses, HIV may impair blood coagulation function, leading to subcutaneous bleeding and the appearance of red spots on the front of the chest.
4. Back
After HIV infects the human body, it causes defects in cellular immune function, leading to skin and mucosal lesions. Rashes may then appear on the back, genital areas, and other sites. These rashes are typically red or reddish-brown, painless and non-itchy, with occasional mild tenderness. They generally resolve spontaneously within about one month.
5. Limbs
After HIV infection, continuous viral proliferation and spread in the body may also lead to the development of red spots on the limbs.
If patients experience any discomfort, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
