Question 1

how do i find out if i have hiv or aids i have dots around my pines

Accepted Answer

The : The best way to know if you are infected with a sexually transmitted disease is to be tested.  There are many places that can do this confidentially and free for you in your area.  I've attached a website below that gives the phone numbers and addresses of places that do HIV and std testing in sacramento, ca.  If you think something may be wrong, make sure you abstain from sex or use a condom until you are tested and know the results.  Good luck!

Question 2

red dots on tongue could it be hiv symptom?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There are many other causes  for your symptoms than hiv.   If you don't participate in IV drug use or unprotected sex, why are you worrying over HIV so much?

Question 3

can expire  hiv dot kit give a false negative ?

Accepted Answer

HIV tests: Expiration dates are important because tests can have decreased sensitivity and/or specificity, just as expired medications can be less effective. Expired kits or kits which have been stored improperly can give false positives and false negatives. I hope your "false negative" turns out to be a "true negative". Good luck!

Question 4

can a tiny dot of  hiv+  blood infect you if it is on your underwear?

Accepted Answer

Blood anywhere: Caution is suggested when there is blood on any surface especially near your moist tissue areas like genitals, mouth, eyes. Consider a visit to your local clinic for baseline tests. Practice safe sex. Follow up with your local healthcare provider.

Question 5

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not a do it yourself: issue. Please consult your doctor for the test to be done at an accredited laboratory. So that you do not have continuing doubts, it would be appropriate to get the test for HIV nucleic acids.

Question 7

i have red dots on my genitals, is this hiv related?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Red dots on your genitals is not hiv.  Red dots on your genitals are far more likely to be related to potentially herpes or molluscum or other viral infection.  Yeast cannot be ruled out either.  Syphilis is far less likely because that is an ulcer.

Question 8

please have u ever heard a a tri-dot hiv kit ?its a rapid test i tested negative after 11 weeks of my last exposure of unprotected oral sex. reliable?

Accepted Answer

TriDOT: This is a home use test for HIV approved for use by fda.  There are both false negative and false positive results.  If you have engaged in activities which place you at risk of acquiring HIV you should undergo more explicit testing.
