		*CORRECTION FOLLOW-UP TO "$50 Ringworm Q&A" Jun 18, 2009 I previously sent a follow-up but I want to add to it. 1) Is ringworm mostly seen in ARS or advanced HIV/AIDS. 2)I also wanted to know if ONE single, small/minor ringworm on the arm just above the crease where you bend your arm, is worrisome? I know you said in HIV/AIDS they tend to be more severe and chronic. I will send another $50 donation for this follow up. Lots of love and luck!!
