Skin Disease and HIV
Hi everyone, about a year ago I was drunk and did it with a CSW. I was drunk at the time and I remember using a condom. The problem is that's all I remember. I don't remember if it stayed in tact or not. I have long since had tests in Dubai at 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year later. I would be ok, but I have long since developed a skin problem where my eyebrows, ears, side of the nose are always flaky. I have thick eyebrows and when I look through them, Ii can see this white dry skin developing all the time. This has been happening for the longest time. I keep freaking out and thinking that the tests in Dubai are not reliable. I'm very scared because I have never developed any skin disease in my life, this is not going away and everywhere I read it says it is one of the problems people with HIV have. Please advise should I retest?

All the tests done after 3 months of a given exposure are conclusive. HIV is not your problem. See a dermatologist. Next time, do not mix a one night stand with alcohol,,, this is not a good combination
You would know if the condom broke or came off,it would be obvious even if you were tanked.It never happened and you had no risk,I agree with Nebraska1,see a dermatologist for your skin problems.All the best.
