I keep getting boils do it come from hiv
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Even though having boils is not the hallmark for HIV. Perhaps you need to get evaluated for being a staph carrier or having an immune defect. An allergist/immunologist should be able to assist you on finding an answer.
