HIV and shingles
I had unprotected oral sex nine days ago and got pretty stressed about it. Today I was diagnosed by my doctor with shingles. What are my chances that the shingles are brought on by stress and not HIV transmission? Can my immune system become so compromised in just nine days?
Stress brings on shingles ,The stress and worry may have brought them on , you were not at risk .
Thank you, Teak.
I guess I am letting my stress and imagination get the best of me (which probably is pretty common).
I going to try and relax and not let this get to me.
