As you were advised, your HIV test was conclusive and you do not have HIV.  Keep working with your doctor to find the cause of your non-HIV related skin issues.

Hello ,

I again started worrying about the hiv infection , because the skin problem which i earlier mentioned is not at all curing , it is appearing and disappearing , after the exposure nearly after 8 months i tested hiv by home test kit and it shows be a negative result , i am still worried why this skin allergy is not curing .

please give an advise
You tested conclusively negative for HIV.  You do NOT have HIV.  Whatever is causing your skin problem has nothing to do with HIV.

highly appreciated your response  i am little confused why this skin allergies keep coming , i had consulted few doctors , they keep telling is urticaria ,
and i failed to isolate the cause , so i am worried , Let me ask is there any possibility to turn hiv positive after 8 months from the exposure

Feel free to discuss with physician without hiding anything. Keep worrying kills you mentally.
If it's sex related physician will ask you to repeat vdrl with span. It's repeated because positive may be due to antibodies. After tests if he feels he will proceed further.
Based on the symptoms you explained biggest possibility may be syphils which can be cured in one single dose injection.
Hope you stop worrying and meet physician the next possible moment. Sooner you go sooner you prevent.

Urticaria is just a generic term for hives , there could be a number of things causing them .. Food allergies , medications most likely any recent changes you've made

Your sypmtoms are not that of an HIV infection . We all have hives and red areas in our palms at some point.. To be sure get tested .. Your results will be conclusive now.
