Hi, am 19 and I think I have shingles. I have a rash below my navel which itches sometimes but doesn't hurt..I didn't get it treated but its dry now and the scar is disappearing.. It has been there for about a month or longer.. I had unprotected sex once and am so scared since shingles is the first sign of hiv.. Am I hiv positive?
