1) why dont you go to a dermatologist for the rash's- you should ask him for
(Clotimazole and Betamethasone) which clears up rashes fast.

2) retest after 12 weeks for (HIV) which should be April 7th which is on a Monday.

3) You should also test for Hep b and C on April 7th

4) Next time make sure you use Latex Condom but I advise you not having sex

until your 12 week tests are negative.

Take care,

AB

Hi there,

hehehe....if you trusted your research, why are you still asking in this forum?  For people to confirm you are HIV +ve.

I had my comment based on your 10 weeks negative result and the symptoms you described.  Yours sound more to be like stress related and common flu.

Anyway, HIV is diagnosed through a blood test, not through signs and symptoms. Do not scare yourself with the signs and symptoms.

Cheers!
