Kaposi Sarcoma or not??

[Kudzanai]

Hi my problem is related to Kaposi Sarcoma. I am a 22 year old Zimbabwean man. I have never been tested for KS before. I am HIV negative, and have one faithful partner. I am also stright (I read some articles linking KS to homosexuals). The reason I am worried about this is because 5 years ago I had a boil like nodule on my calf which grew to be rather large, pus filled and painful. However, this nodule went away and left a rather large scar, aroung 3cm on my calf. ,Around the same period I had a smaller nodule on my ankle which went away, also leaving a slightly smaller scar. I have never had nodules of such magnitude ever since. Ocassionally, I have some nodules on my anus and groin, but they occur rarely and often finish by themselves. I also have acne like outbreaks at times. They are not severe and often finish within a few days leaving no scars. These are on my face and present as single acne bumps. Sometimes they can occur on other parts of my skin, but they always go away by themselves. I have nodules which appear like hair ingrowths in my pubic region, however, I think they may be connected to whatever I have. Sometimes I get small nodules under my eyelids which are small but also finish by themselves. Recently my girlfriend started getting acne like pimples on her face, which began to worry me as I am not sure, maybe I gave her KS? Do I have KS? I do not have multiple partners and neither does my girlfriend. Please help.

I guess I will have to take the blood test then, its just never been a problem until my girlfriend got this acne spot. It doesnt seem to look like KS. Can a gynaecologist look at it and determine if its neccessary to test for KS or not?
Thanks for your response.

Thanks, but these nodules appear rarely and disappear after like a day or two..

Hi and welcome. A biopsy of the nodule can diagnose if you have it and also there is an antibody test to determine if you have it asymptomatic preventing it from being exposed to other.
