Thank you for your input..I did see a doctor last night. I was diagnosed as having "cellulitis" which is caused by the strep and staph bacteria and enters the body through an insect bind or broken skin. I'm on antibiotics, and received a long overdue tetanous shot.
Regarding HIV, I feel good about getting your opinions. I will get tested ASAP to feel more at ease.
HIV is not as "transmittable" as people percieve it to be. It is deadly though, which is why it gets the rap that it does. I cant quote the statistics, but even if you have unprotected sex with an HIV+ person your chances of contracting the disease are less than 40% - granted thats still a worrisome thing. Boils happen to just about everyone, and yes, those with suppressed immune systems are more prone. Personally, I would get checked for HIV, just because you were at risk, but I really wouldnt start panicking. Boils are really contageous, and it might only take you touching a boil and then wiping your butt... Breathe easy and get yourself tested.
It really sounds like a pimple. Do you get body acne? I know you're stressed, and 3 months is a long time to wait, but one pimple-type thing on your body is probably not anything to get all worried about. maybe you could go to a clinic and just ask a nurse practitioner or doctor what they think of it, to put your mind at ease. Did you have any flu-like symptoms a week or two after your accidents? That would probably be a better sign of infection than a skin bump.
Staph can be passed and would develop if you had broken skin in that area. Believe it or not the staph is easier to get than HIV.
There is an std forum on this site. The dr. who answers the questions says that the 6 week hiv tests are almost 100% accurate for determining positive or negative status for HIV. You may want to search through that forum and read some of his answers to similar questions.
I really don't feel like I could give you very accurate answers to your questions. They would just be my opinion. You may want to ask the Dr. in the other forum. I believe there is a small (ie, $5) charge for asking questions but he is very knowledgable.
I had a friend who died from HIV. I stayed in his home until he had to go to the hospital. I know I personally never got any staff type infections from him. I hugged him, drank from his cup, helped with laundry, etc.. He was gay so we were not sexually active. That's where I get a little more dim as far as your possibilities of receiving any disease or infection.
Good luck. I really hope everything works out for you.
Personally, I am really paranoid about HIV, so, I would get tested now, and 6 months from the time your guys tried to have sex...just my person choice though.
