brown/red spots all over skin

I was wondering if anyone could explain these spots I'm getting on my back, neck, forehead, and there is one on my thumb now too that alrmed me now. I don't know if its kaposi sarcoma, some other kind of skin disorder, or what?

From the spots you have seen from my website posts, you've determined that they are not kaposi sarcoma spots?

You most certainly don't have Karposi's sarcoma.  You've clearly been reading the internet too much.  You don't have an HIV risk from giving yourself injections with equipment supplied by a medical establishment.  

I would recommend stopping the internet searching, if your skin issues persist, then see your doctor.  It has nothing at all to do with HIV.

Hi Teak,

Thanks for your response. The thumb picture has me concerned. I am taking a weight loss drug using needles that this clinic supplies you. I have been doing it myself with needles for a year now, however, I have not experienced night sweats ever, no shortness of breath, no headaches, or fevers. I have been working out hardcore too, my run time for 2.15 miles used to be 25:30mins 4 months ago and I just recently ran it in 20:30mins yesterday. I'm physically still doing good with exercise and was wondering, when you have kaposi sarcoma, are you supposed to experience other symptoms along with it or are you supposed to see multiple spots similar to the one on my thumb forming?

Did you have a possible exposure?
