    Hi Leo,

    I am sorry about the test results.

    You need to go to an HIV Clinic and get tested

    and then start treatment for HIV, if positive.

    Fortunately, HIV is not the death sentence it was in the 1980s. The key to staying healthy is finding an excellent physician with whom you feel comfortable communicating, and staying on your meds. I cared for many AIDS patients in the 1980s.

    Shingles will not turn the HIV test positive.

    I am not an HIV/infectious disease specialist. I am a retired Nurse Practitioner in the States.

    My heart goes out to you.

    Merry Juliana
