First of all....we've all gone over this stuff with you ad nauseum.  I'm glad to hear that you are taking an anti-depressant....b/c you simply cannot accept what you have been told.

Two things....if you JUST started the Lexapro, not only will it not be effective right away (it can take several weeks until you notice an improvement), but also the initial treatment with SSRI meds like Lexapro come with a LOT of side effects for a lot of people.  My bet is the tingling is a side effect coupled with high levels of anxiety.

You do NOT have HIV, and you need to start REALLY moving on.

i cant say for a fact, but i can definitely tell you that a tingling sensation can be brought on from stress and anxiety.
