Chance of getting hiv

4 days ago, i got the herpes zoster on the back of waist,thigh and lower abdomen. Last year november, i got a hiv test showed negative. After that i have 4 to 5 times protected sex with sex workers, the last exposure was 5th august 2017. May i know   is my herpes zoster related to hiv and the chance of getting it? Thanks.

I knew that the risk is definitely low for me to get hiv but due to im only 22 yr old and the chance of getting herpes zoster is low. And i found that this infection is uncommon for this age and might be the symptom related to post HIV infection, that is why i have some concorn about hiv.

Since you were advised back then that you had no risk there is no reason to tell this forum now that you had low risk.
Perhaps your doctor can help you understand that you are wasting your life worrying about something that doesn't make sense.

Your old thread has the advice. What risk did you have that made you think you needed to test?
