Response from Dr. Feinberg
 Kaposi's sarcoma is not only unusual in women, but it typically occurs when T cells are lower and HIV is replicating (growing), so your risk for KS seems vanishingly small. Since I can't see your spots, I don't know what they are. I suggest you see your HIV doctor or a dermatologist. |
