Body Acne/

Had a possible exposure through a tattoo , in Septebmer of 2007. Pretty much had all symptoms. 2week test -Negative, 16 week test - negative. But I have developed painful body acne on back,chest and buttocks. Is this due to a weak immune system? This started , a few weeks after the possible exposure. Also had this weird feeling on the tip of the tongue (burning, with food/liquids) since getting the tattoo and never got better. do I need to re-test? Freakin out, please help. Its been 7 months.

Negative test mean you dont have HIV.  Acne happens sometimes for probably hundreds of other reasons.
