Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hi, Chicken pox has a very classic and characteristic appearance. Typically, it begins as crops of small, red papules that quickly develop into clear vesicles that look like "tear drops" on a reddish base. The rash associated with HIV infections is red, not itchy, and sometimes slightly raised. It isn't usually confused with chicken pox, and there is not a link between chicken pox and HIV. The exposure you describe - oral sex with a condom in place and mutual masturbation - would be extremely low risk. Continue practicing safe sex! RJF |
