HIV infection is known to worsen seborrheic dermatitis, but is only to be suspected in individuals with high risk sexual behavior. Or in other words, if you are worried about getting infected following a high risk sexual encounter you should test, if no high risk sexual activity, see your doc to escalate treatment for seborrheic dermatitis that can be affected by a variety of other factors.

If you have any concern, get tested. 4th gen HIV test would be reliable. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
