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? Confused

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.
