DO I HAVE HIV???

I have had abscess or boils on my buttocks for years. I can not tell between the two. They also come under my breast, on my waist, the inner thigh and the back of the thigh. They do not produce pain or cause any discomfort. They come and go, but when they return, they come in a new spot each time. I had a HIV test in 2008 when I was pregnant with my son. I had unprotected sex in 2007 about two times. After the last risky sex I got a test done. It was well after three months when I got the test. It came back negative. I did not have sex with no one but my boyfriend who I was pregnant from. I was with him for years before I got pregnant, so I know he does not have HIV. I was drunk and had sex with a guy back in November 2009. He had a condom on but I think it broke. But I had this condition before that happened. I am now pregnant again from the same guy I had my first kid with. I have an HIV test coming in may the results will not be on till June. From the sounds of things do you think it sounds like HIV??

I went to try to get one done and they said they do not do those on pregnant women. They said only the blood test. So I am going to be very nervous til then.. This sucks.. :-(

well im no doctor.
people get abscesses. possibly vitamin deficiency. or sometimes the body rids excess calcium that way. i would follow up with a doctor. go get a oraquik hiv mouth swab so you can forget about it. the results are instant. i think any std clinic has it.

good luck. and congratulations.
