Peeling fingertips hiv?
If I had unprotected oral sex with a sex worker, 3 weeks later I start to have peeling skin on my fingertips (almost all fingertips), I am so worried can this be a symptom of hiv infection? I have no rashes on my palm only peeling fingertips. They dont hurt or itch. Doctors said they are just caused by dryness. Just want to clearify that can HIV cause fingertips to peel? I am freaking out!!! thanks
bottom line is that IT CANT SOUND LIKE HIV RASH OR SOMETHING...you were never at risk ! ! !
What concerns me a lot is the 4 or 5 pimple like red bumps in front of my chest. First doctor I saw said it looks like folliculisis, but the second said they are just pimples. I am still kind of anxious because they are there for more than 2 weeks. Does my situation sound like HIV rash or something? Thank you so much for reading it.
Thank you guys, it is all you guys that make this community so comforting and supportive!! Thank you and I guess anxiety is really a scarry thing that can cause wierd body reactions.
there is NO RISK from oral sex.
listen to your doctor...peeling fingertips are in no way related to hiv.

No, that is not a symptom of HIV. 1 in 10,000 chance of getting HIV via oral sex. Nothing to worry about =]
