There isn't a rash that is necessarily associated with HIV infection. It is a common misconception that there are outward symptoms that point to HIV. Most people don't experience anything that points to HIV infection before testing positive.

HIV cannot spread through skin unless there are cuts or open wounds or sores.

HIV can spread through mucous membranes which is the soft, often moist tissue in some organs, for example the tissue that layers the inside of the vagina, the head o f mans penis or the inner foreskin or an uncircumcised man.

Some patients with initial HIV infection will get a skin rash. Later-stage HIV disease may also include rashes. Most rashes are not caused by HIV.
