Correcting the typo errors.

Hi, Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a skin infection/rash seen in some people (commonly on the scalp) having HIV infection which is not treated and if the person is not in good health. It also happens to people who are HIV negative. Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is certainly not a sign of HIV early infection.

Hi, as you know HIV is an immune disorder and can lead to many symptoms therefore we never use symptoms in connection with HIV infection as could be anything causing them.
If you were exposed to HIV, either from unprotected vaginal/anal sex or sharing IV drug needles, then have the DUO test at 28 days.
