H.I.V scared and skin issues?!

Question: H.I.V scared and skin issues?

Ok so long story short i had unprotected sex with four guys and ive been having SEVERE dry skin all over my body including my scalp. Its been going on for like 4 or 5 months now.I also have been losing more hair. I heard this is common with people with hiv and im freaking out. Its been 9 months since my last sexual encounter. Can i mentally be causing these skin problems..I havent been able to get tested in over two years because im absolutely terrified everyday is a nightmnare..

Answers:

You might just have dry skin from dehydration, from eczema, from the weather, whatever. I'd go get tested to ease your mind. Not knowing is worse. If you're negative, then you've learned a valuable lesson about having unprotected sex (IE DON'T DO IT without getting tested!) and if you're positive, then you'll know how best to deal with it. It is really NOT okay to continue having sex without being tested if you think you might have an STD. I know you don't want to be yelled at by some rando on the internet because you're clearly suffering a lot, but think about it: if you had sex with someone who suspected they had HIV and didn't tell you, wouldn't you be mad?
