?peripheral neuropathy May 17, 2001 My HIV status is unknown. I am currently suffering from what I believe is neuropathy. I have been researching my symptoms on the web and all indications point to neuropathy. I have some loss of feeling in my thumb and lower forearm area and my hand seems to "fall asleep" faster than usual. I am very scared that this may be a sign of HIV please help!! |

Response from Dr. Feinberg
 HIV-associated peripheral neuropathy starts in the toes, not the hand, and affects both feet equally. |
