Then I consult to a dermatologist he told me that is Molluscum and recommend me to HIV test I am not sexually active . Here is my all test report till today (18-07-2011)

The reason for worrying:-
I read in lot of article that if you have molluscum in beard area and eyelids that's means you are HIV infected. I have lot's of small molluscum in my beard area as well as in my eyelids. I am under depression about HIV. Every week I got small molluscum over my face . These all ( more then 200 hundred ) are very small like pinhead , but you can see if u look very close .I talk to my dermatologist about this. He is using TCA 25% to burn molluscum and prescribed some of medicine to increase my immune system from mid april,2011. I just come to show my HIV result to my dermatologist. He told me that you are 100% HIV free,But again another side he told me that if you continue your HIV test till Nov. that will be 200 % what that mean. Every time he make me more restless.I have already lost my job due this tense. every day i am feeling like a year Whenever i am going to search on internet about molluscum on face then only one response i am getting that is only for HIV.
Should I go for another HIV test after 6 months ?
• How accurate is the Tridot HIV test ?
• What is the chances of HIV after 6 month after sextual relationship ( specially me because I have suffering from molluscum ) ?
• Have you ever been seen any person without HIV on face molluscum ?
Kindly suggest me what to do….
