HIV vs. folliculitis
My husband for about 5 months has had bumps/ rashes on his arms. It started in his arm pits and it looks as if it was folliculitis. It has now spread down to his arms and they are only in the hair foliciles. He was diagnosed with esonophilic esiphagitis which is common in men with asthma. After reading online I am now starting to get a little concerned with esonophilic folliculitis and it's association with HIV. His bumps are not itchy nor painful however when they were in his arm pit they were very painful. Heat seems to make it worse. Any help would be great!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I agree the folliculitis can be treated regardless of HIV.
Lots of issues are associated with HIV but you can get them without it so the only way to know would be to get tested, maybe your bf would be more likely to take it at home or with the mouth swap test?
Good luck x

He has slept with multiple people until he finally stayed faithful. He is refusing to go and get it checked because he "just thinks it'll go away"
