      cos im very paranoid. my last sexual contact was october last year. things were fine until around january i started feeling itchy around my vagina. i went n did some std test, hep b n hiv included n they were all negative. but recently around 2 months ago i started having these rash idk if its rash or acne cause sometimes i can see like theres white inside n i can pop them like acne. ive never had terrible acne before so thats why im having these thoughts that these could be smth else. i asked my partner if he had any changes that could indicate std but hes all fine.

    Dear mari,

    I would suggest taking an HIV blood test. Why haven't you done this?

    There are lots of causes of rashes and an HIV rash can look very similar to more common conditions. TBH, it is unlikely to be HIV because the rash of acute infection develops during seroconversion and from what you've written you've had this problem "for a while".

      hello, i actually did took an hiv blood test around january and it came out negative. but during that time i havent had this problem yet. after that it cleared me of any suspicions but suddenly i started developing this thing. i just thought of asking before i went for another test.
