I know it's all very new and is extremely worrying until you get your head round it all but please don't let things trouble you so. As vitvit has said it looks like acne or a heat rash.

If I had let every little problem turn into a red flag for becoming ill I wouldn't have reached 30 years of being positive. And I was diagnosed in 1985 when friends were dying 2 or maybe 3 a week. There were no magic pills to take either.

We have moved on a long way and have a normal life expectancy these days. As long as you receive good medical care and follow ups life will be fine. We still get sick, of course, but also recover too. You'll have many more good health years than bad.

We are all here to help....

Thats I still have not received a pos result but am sure I am. I had a negative result 9 weeks after exposure and another 84 days. Next week I have my 6 month test.

I have been ill ever since my exposure. The first 6 weeks were the worst. Now I have sickness everyday. Gets worse at different hours. My stomach is always feeling bad and have diarrhea everyday. Always have a rash. My skin is really dry and worse on my palms. I get tingling in my fingers and always have muscle aces. I get tired really easy. My palms also are full of bolchea and my throat really red. My tougue is white and really dry. All day even if I drink loads of water. My bottom teeth are getting decay in between them. My top are fine. I feel without enery all the time. Never have I felt so ill
