HIV infection??

[Trankie]

Hey Im a 22 year old bisexual man. I think I have chronic furunculosis, cause I keep getting these red bumps with white heads on my butt but mostly on my neck. Im afraid that it can be due to an HIV infection, what should I do plz? I tested negative for hiv in late may....

Protected sex is no risk! Keep up the protection and you will NOT get HIV. Don't mix drinking or drugs with sex which may stop you from using protection. Be very careful it only takes a second for one bad choice. You will be okay you tested neg May and no unprotected sine then? You are neg still relax doll.

THIS FORUM IS HIV SPECIFIC AND YOU'VE HAD NO RISK FOR INFECTION.

if you are having health concerns...work with your dr...it's not hiv related

Ive had these red bumps with white heads before, mostly on my neck but also on my bottom. Every page I look it up in suggests that it can be due to weakened immune system.

Oh so I looked it up and that is just a cute name for staph infection yeah people with HIV get staph bumps but so do people without HIV. I got it last year it is a pain to get rid of see a dr cause staph is dangerous. When I had staph I thought maybe I had HIV and I got tested and I did not have HIV. I learned symptoms don't mean anything !

I dont think I ever were exposed to a great risk, once i had sex with a guy i did not know but it was of course protected. Ive always used a condom and never been the receptive partner, but i still have some anxiety and doubts. Its 5 am and i still cant sleep. :/

What was your risk? I have red bumps on my bottom and I don't have HIV. I had them even before I was active w sex.

3 months post your LAST exposure is conclusive.
