No shingles is not a sign of HIV. Anyone that has had chicken poxs can get shingles.

MOVE ON. You didn't read that at all.

As Teak said, if you have had chickenpox, you can have shingles years later, for absolutely no reason at all.

it seems like you r impossible to have a discussion with - u move on im now taking this discussion with someone else

[Teak]

You do that. because it doesn't belong on this forum.

I'm glad you know what that word means because that is what you've been from the first post. Shingles is not a primary indication of HIV infection. Go post this BS over on the Drs. forum and see what they tell you.
