Back Rash

Hi, sunday night my back started itching...  then monday I realized I had some sort of rash in my back.  A bit in the lower region and on the sides near back ribcage and near neck.  Not all red but more like like bumps in my skin...   Also my back feels like it's on fire...   I had sex with a prostitute not too long ago but used condoms but I read that this could be a sign of HIV.  I have herpes so this really made me scared...

This is not an HIV concern. See your doctor for you symptoms.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT...
This sounds like it may be shingles, and could be related to your HSV.  You might want to look into the HSV forum for more info.

protected sex is no risk
your rash has nothing to do with HIV
