please help-freaked out; red mark on skin Mar 2, 2001 I tested negative at 3 months but ever since this nightmare began- way back fron the beginning I started to notice my legs getting swollen and the slightest pressing on them leaves a red mark or impression on my skin. Could this be an aids lyphomodema so early?Before this I had No risk factors and I am not 100 sure of my status now but this is bothering me and I do not know where to turn for help.I am thinking maybe that with this going on it is why the CDC advises 6 months for testing -Could this be causing me to be one of the rare cases who do not show up until maximum time on the antibody test? |

Response from Dr. Dezube
 Given that you tested negative at 3 months, it would be unlikely (but not impossible) for you to have HIV infection, AIDS, AIDS lymphoma, or lymphedema related to HIV. You need to see a health care provider for the sake of peace of mind. Nothing you write, in particular, makes me suspicious of HIV. Nevertheless, I would recommend that you seek help. |
