When do skin problems assosiated with HIV appear?

It has been a year and two months since I had unprotected sex, I have started developing some skin disorders which includes dry scaly itchy skin( could be Eczema or Psoriasis. Could I have HIV, normally when do these symptoms appear I have heard it takes 10 years.

Tell me something, why do you want to make a fool out of yourself? You are telling us that you are okay being scared, anxious and petrified about speculating whether you have HIV or not. However, testing is some thing that you can't do?

Look, it's worth going through that temporary anxiety of the test result than browsing the internet and other resources guessing HIV. You get to know your sero-status and you move on.

All we can tell you here is that you need to test to know, we or any specialist can't asess any symptom and tell you any thing. Go get that test.

Good Luck.

Symptoms don't mean any thing, HIV can't be diagnosed with the help of symptom. You had unprotected sex and you need to test, that's the only way to know.
