HIV RASH??
Please could someone help me out here - I am really worried I have contracted HIV. A couple of months ago I had unprotected sex with a lady friend of mine (I know her so I wasn't really concerned about using a condom). Anyway what I am worried about is that I have just developed a sort of itchy, round spots (not raised) rash on the upper part of my back. Is this an early symptom of HIV? What does the rash look like? Where is it usually found? How soon does it start? I am really stressing so do you think this could be stress related instead? Thank you
If she has only been with you and she is not an iv drug user then you're safe.A committed relationship.Great to hear that.Have a good life together.You can stop being a worry wart now.
Thank you "getitright77" .... she had a full medical done two weeks ago for insurance and everything came back okay - including her HIV status. We are 100% committed to one another and for the last two months have only been seeing one another. If she tested negative then it's safe to say, I'd be negative too?
Yes,probably.If she tested negative well you don't have an Hiv concern anymore and you are good to go.See your doctor if the lump doesn't improve.All the best.
The lady that I had the sexual encounter with months ago is now my long standing girlfriend - she was tested two weeks ago and is negative, so I am assuming that my result would be pretty much the same as we have unprotected sex all the time. Just really worried about this lump on my hard palate - probably due to the flu I am sure.
You're being a worry wart,worriedwart1.It is time for you to test now it's it?It's been over 3 Months since this happened.What are you waiting for,christmas?
Hi guys ... it's me again - sorry to be such a pain. The last couple of days I developed flu - runny nose, headache, sweating and then this morning I woke up with two lumps on my upper hard palate. Is this a reason to be concerned?
