sebaceous cysts related to hiv

Are sebaceous cysts related to hiv? I tested neg. at 72 days but I have had reaccuring sebaceous cysts in the past month or so (4 months post). They have been diagnosed by my do and they go away after a few days on their own. Any thoughts?

72 day test is almost 100% conclusive.  What is your exposure?

unprotected vaganal sex me being the female. The guy is alot older than me and told me he was clean have not had any other symptoms. Live in a place where I have not even heard of anyone having hiv (although I know people do have it). The man was as far as I know straight (kind of a player if you want to get right down to it) And I  am pretty sure not a drug user.

I believe that sebaceous cysts are not a symptom of early HIV infection. They are usually caused by skin trauma and swollen hair follicles I think.

I'd say you're fine.
