okat teak thanks alot but can i ask you why they said that?

for me im in midle east and i had a test after 16 week during this time i had low fever (maybe from anixty) , i think swelling lymph nodes , and the eczema big red pimple) in week 20 after the test and the doctor told me its eczema. and before the eczema stuff i had bad sore throat. i think i had every symptoms during the 16 week before the test and after . and i think eczema back after 3 years from these things in my face like light and soft pimple not that red just light and i think in my waist for 1 week and disspear

my qustaion is why they said 90% of infected hiv peolpe will have eczema? like harvard school and eczemanet.? and other sites like yahoo ...etc cuz i never had eczema in my life

is 16 week is consclsive?  NOTE: i dont know what type of elisa genration they test ( that was in 2002 ) middle east 3erd world.

i had low fever and swelling lymph nodes and stocmch pain (maybe from anixtey) when i did the test ...is that the ARS which mean the test will come fase-negative?
these days when they hiv things came to my mind i didnt eat for at least 5 days such sitting on the net and searching and searching ...

im five years since that stupid high risk

13 weeks is conclusive and no, seborrheic dermatitis is not a primary symptom of HIV infection.
