Hi,

I just wanted to ask a question. And it may be a bit of an odd question. But I have recently been diagnosed with Seborrheic Dermatitis and have been getting alot of anxiety as it is HIV related. If anyone can please comment if Seborrheic Dermatitis is a common skin disease or if it is predominately related to HIV?

I just had a few questions to see if my possible exposures could be related to HIV?

Possible exposure 1:

Protected sex with 10+ women? (Just wanted to ask what the chances are of getting HIV?

Possible exposure 2:

Sharing bank notes (money) whilst using cocaine? I am a quiet heavy cocaine user, NEVER injected? (Are there any chances of getting HIV this way, that have been recorded as I have not been able to find a case study on the internet that reflects this?

Possible exposure 3:

Getting a haircut where the razor blade was not changed and my neck was cut during the haircut? It was in New York where I had the haircut, and the haircut would have been at least 7 minutes after the person before me had there neck shaved with the razor. Would like to no what the likelyhood of getting HIV this way.

Exposure 4:

I have been having electrolysis since August 2009? Is this a risk? as the places I have gone to appear to be quiet clean.


Any help would be so, so much appreciated. I have had a HIV test in the past which came up negative and I am just worried that the Seborrheic Dermatitis is HIV related,  all my exposures are listed above and any help would be much appreciated?

1-no
2-no
3-no it cant delay
4-no need to retest
5-yes
6-you did not need to be tested to begin with...you used a condom while having sex which is a NO Risk situation..using oil based lubricant while intercourse does not expose you to hiv by any means..
you do not have hiv
go see a doctor regarding your health concerns..its NOT hiv related
no need for further tests
