petechia and hot sensations HIV symptoms? Posted: 03-05-08 23:42pm
Hi guys, I need your input on something.
over the last 3 weeks, I've noticed new
symptoms.
I suddenly noticed a burning sensation in
both feet of mine. It's coupled with
tingling sensations all over my body.
I've also noticed small red spots, they
maybe petechia. But they are suddenly
appearing everywhere.
I've also noticed a bead like bump on the
right side of my neck . . .
Are these 3 : signs of HIV?

I am concerned about the bead like bump at
the right side of your neck. You should
have that checked and definitely get a HIV
test three months from the point of
infection. All the best with that.
I remember having hives all over my body
in the early 90's. It could have been HIV
or maybe not. There are no specific
symptoms that occur when HIV happens. One
may get a cold which is normal or one may
develop a rash which is also normal. Very
hard to say which is HIV related and which
is not. The only way to know is to be
courageous and take the test.
A doctor would know about the burning
sensation on your feet. I have read
though that burning feet may be caused
mbae dampness and friction. It is
important to wear shoes that allow
evaporation. It is recommended to wear
cotton socks. Also Athletes foot can
cause burning. You might be allergic to
certain kind of shoe or socks. Long term
use of alcohol can affect the nervous
activity of the feet. Diabetes can cause
burning feet, smoking and gout. A trapped
nerve can also lead to a hot burning
sensation.
So the burning could be caused mbae many
things. You need to get checked my dear.
