Hi again, this is an update from my previous post. Yesterday, 11 months after my possible exposure to the virus. I tested negative, But still I have the same symptoms. And my rashes is not doing so well, it spread on my shoulders, a little bit on my chest, on my abdomen, and on the sides.

See a dermatologist for your rashes. 11 months is conclusive, you are HIV negative. Lots of the symptoms can be caused by other things so look at those one by one (without google help, he’s not a doctor). Anxiety will cause just about all of them. Have you looked into Shingles or even Eczema which is very common?

Your skin is part of your immune response so it can be a symptom of many things. I have both HIV and Eczema so when I flare I look at the possible causes individually. I use Dermol which is a cream can be used to help with symptoms and used as a washing product for my skin (Emollient). But you need to find out what is causing it which is very hard, rule each cause out one by one until you’re there. It can be your linen or a virus or a bacteria or fungus but the worst thing is to stress. You aren’t positive buddy but look for all the other potential causes one by one. Try the obvious first - diet, stress, something which comes in direct contact with your skin... it could just be the heat. Usually your skin is reacting to something to defend you, you just need to find the cause. Most practitioners will be able to point you in the right direction but dermatologists are great as they usually specialise in immunology also...
