worried itchy bumps
      #7610 - 07/25/00 03:40 PM

hi i dont know where to start. My worry is coming from the fact that i was raped eight months ago. After this happened i decided not to tell anyone, especially my husband. I made this decision because i was out with friends partying when this happened and my husband never wanted me going out in the first place. i pushed this event way back and tried to move on. About two months ago i developed anxiety disorder because i started to obsess over whether or not i got HIV. i was put on meds and had a bad allergic reaction to them. so i am going at it without any meds. For the past two weeks i have this itching all over my body and in some spots it has a hivelike rash. i have an appointment with a dermatologist, but now i am worried all over agin. so many web pages say that there r many forms of skin disorders associated with early HIV. Does anyone know if this sounds like one of them. There is no scaling, no oily patches, no blisters, no oozing or crusting. Just ITCHY as hell with small bumps and some alittle larger.(arms, legs, butt)
the itch comes and goes and gets worse when i think about it. as for ARS i dont remember going thru it, except for what i thought was a bad case of hemmoroids about a month after this happened.
Please HELP.......
thanx

It doesn't sound like any symptoms of HIV infection or AIDS to me personally. But I think you should consider getting tested. That is the only way to be sure.

I thuink I have those same things... the hives at least. They come up like where you scratch and rises above the skin so it feels like a big bug bite. In any event, I don't think I've heard of this related to HIV either. I went and tested at 6 eeks and was neg so... half way there. Also, if it makes you feel any better, rape in many cases usually do not give the victim HIV because rapists don't really do it for sex so thye never ejaculate and so on and so forth. There's been VERY FEW rape cases that ended up with an HIV infction.

Please tell me what your dermatologist says it may be. I'm still waiting for my appointment date.

Even i am having the same problem since last 3-4 days.
The mosquito bite like bumps mostly appears on my back, arms and near neck. And that too strangely at night most of the times.

It itches like mosquito bite.

It disappears in a hour or two.

I haven't treated it yet but according to my knowledge it has something to do with impure blood. That is when stomach doesnot gets clean enough.

Pls excuse my ENGLISH.
