How would I know if I get infected by HIV?

I am glad I was able to find a free blog.  I need some advice.  I am starting to worry about my body acne.  I don't have body acne when I was in my hometown until I went abroad.  I had a couple of unsafe sex but I never been too active on it.  I started to observe that I'm getting body acne specially on my chest, back and arms.  I started using antibiotic cream to stop the spread of body acne.  But still, it is still evident.I'm getting body acne.  My body acne are not that big but tiny reddish dots.  Some are itchy but never been constantly itchy all the time.  I never had fever or felt weak in the past weeks unless I was stressed out from work.  I use body lotion and it seems to trigger body acne so I stopped using it.  I just hope you can answer my inquiry.  I am really worried about what's going on.

thanks.  i just got worried of what's going on.  i never knew my body would have certain changes or reaction with the new environment i am now.  anyway, i am still scared of getting an HIV test.  Do you think my body acne are not symptoms of HIV?  I feel normal and i don't get any other symptoms as well.

Has nothing to do with HIV. The only way to know is to have an HIV test.
