I have a full body rash. cleared with steroids but come straight back. told is was eczema but scared by images it could be hiv how would i kno?

Vague history: Does the rash itch? The rash associated with HIV however would not have likely responded to steroid. Nonetheless get tested for HIV if you feel that you are at risk regardless of the rash. Consult a dermatologist if this problem persists.
