I have a constant itchy chest after trimming my chest hair, but not until the 2 week mark. I have always done this but just started 9 months ago. The reson I am worried is that I had unprotected intercourse and then this started happening after 10 days post exposure. I have tested for all STD's at 9 months - negative, been to 2 dermos and still no relief. I have not changed anything in my diet or soap. One DR. said folliculitis from trimming, the other heat induced folliculiits - no rash or bumps - does get alittle red after I have my shirt on from rubbing - and only happens when my shirt is on as well. Any thoughts? I just want to make sure its not due to HIV even though all my Dr.s say no way after 9 months. I am just running out of ideas. Thanks

Sorry. Just one last question. My son just got back from the doctor, he is 18 months. He has a ear infection. I have pre chewed food for him the prior months, around the time of my exposure. And now I have read that ear infections in children could be do to HIV. Do you think it is possible that I have HIV even after a 9 month negative and passed it to my son? My test was blood from my vein and went to a lab. Is that a sufficient test. Thanks for your response. I am new to this whole HIV thing. Thanks.

Has nothing to do with HIV. Listen to your doctors.
