seborrheic dermatitis early symptom of hiv??

[dukebluedevil]

Is Seborrheic Dermatitis an early/acute symptom of HIV?  I had an unprotected sex encounter on Nov 2nd and developed dry, flaky skin on my face 3 weeks later.  She has assured me time and time again that she doesn't have hiv, however I went and got tested for HIV on Dec 3rd and it was negative.  I'm very worried because I've never had this dry, flaky skin on my face before.

Thank you in advance.

I appreciate your comment and as I wait to take my 3 month test - I can't help but be nervous.  I surely hope it is worried well and can build the courage to get my life back as you said you eventually overcame yourself.  I went ahead a read a lot about the descriptions of worried well and the statements align exactly with how I feeling, what I am thinking and my fears.  Thank you again for your honest support.  I wanted to comment quickly on the tarheels win last night over clemson - how depressing in the last second of overtime.  still undefeated...damn it.

well I can say with confidence that you are providing a great service and i really have appreciated it.  you have helped me to become more educated on hiv and beginning to come to grips with my out of control panic.  i really take to heart what you doctor said and have continued to educate myself more and more.  i can say where I am now - it has both helped and hurt because as I'm sure as you are fully aware, a person can drive themselves crazy reading all the internet has to offer to read.  I am very glad to hear you say that you've got your life back.  i just continue to pray that I don't have hiv and the general symptoms I feel I've had are just a bad coincidence in timing. As I keep going back and forth with more education, I get very nervous everytime I think about going back in and getting tested and waiting for the results, as I'm sure you did too. thank you so much again.

I'm actually from Ohio, but have been a huge duke fan for my entire life (from my family).  I've been to NC quite a bit and have attended both a football and basketball game at NC State.  I really liked both stadiums and had a great time.  If I may ask, what is your interest in making your very valuable contributions to this forum?  You don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable, however I am very grateful for you helping talk me through my paranoid state and issues.
