Do I have Aids... Im very scared.

Hi im 18 years old as of last month. Ive had this problem for almost 3 years now and never really thought of it as a big deal until now. I figured these things would just go away on there own but they have only gotten worse!

I seen to have reddish/Skin Colored small bumps all over the head of my penis. And on my balls I have these small pimple like dots that come and go. But are for the most part always there like the  bumps on the head of my penis.

Im extremely worried because I met a girl whom I want to get serious with but I dont want to hurt her and Im still scared to go to a doctor about this! Please someone help me out with giving me some tips or something.

I really just dont want to go on like this If there is even a cream or ointment to get rid of these things Id appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.

go to you local std clinic HIV/Aids testing is free i just did the test and got the results back this week, (-) this will rule out this scare get tested before any sex these people have seen many STD's they are very easy to talk to and most times are income based so get tested and go onto a happy life.  Stop net searching this only leads to more anxiety which brings more symptoms forward.

forget it, ingrown hair follicules cause nothing, even if it is herpes that still isnt life threatning at all.

That was the most comforting post Ive read about this. I am circumsized though. I dont know if this has anything to do with my problem... but all over my shoulders/upper arms I have many red dots like ingrown hairs but they have been there for a very long time approximately 2-3 years as well. I just dont understand how ingrown hair follicules could damage the head of my penis? Any way do you personally beleive this is something curable by treatment? Im going to start looking for a clinic to go to and I think I might tell my closest freind to drive me there. Im still somewhat embarrassed about asking to go to a clinic but more nearvous than embarrassed.

no its not aids, aids isnt transmitted hiv is. Hiv causes aids which is a syndrome cuased by a virus. WHAT u may have may be normal ingrown hair follicules completely normal and as for the head of your penis are u uncircumsized meaning do u have a forskin? if you dont have a forskin then it could be herpes but id say its ingrown hair follicules. ITS not aid nor hiv. Oraldoesnt transmit hiv, it may transmit herpes but really low. U dont have to worry about this.

You need to speak with your parents. If you have been 100% abstinent in both sex and oral your whole life, there is nothing be ashamed of or reason to fear any scorn.

Search your phone book for health clinics and pay one of them a visit, a lot of times you can get some inexpensive services and treatments if you go to the correct place....

AIDS is not only transmitted through Sex. though its the most common....

my comment was made prior to your second post but if this has been on going for years, you need to go to the doctor SOON.
