seborrheic dermatitis early symptom of hiv??

[dukebluedevil]

Is Seborrheic Dermatitis an early/acute symptom of HIV?  I had an unprotected sex encounter on Nov 2nd and developed dry, flaky skin on my face 3 weeks later.  She has assured me time and time again that she doesn't have hiv, however I went and got tested for HIV on Dec 3rd and it was negative.  I'm very worried because I've never had this dry, flaky skin on my face before.

Thank you in advance.

I appreciate your comment and as I wait to take my 3 month test - I can't help but be nervous.  I surely hope it is worried well and can build the courage to get my life back as you said you eventually overcame yourself.  I went ahead a read a lot about the descriptions of worried well and the statements align exactly with how I feeling, what I am thinking and my fears.  Thank you again for your honest support.  I wanted to comment quickly on the tarheels win last night over clemson - how depressing in the last second of overtime.  still undefeated...damn it.

I developed SD after going from tropical climate in southeast asia to whatever climate san francisco has. I think I am just like aussie because  I think it was a combination of the weather and stress (stress of worrying about hiv after reading all the symptons online). i was tested 3 times at 3 months and it came back negative. I think stress brings it on and weather doesnt help....but I am also curious about rain water because for the first time in my life I had to shower in rain water because I was staying on an island, so all the showers have rain water....I've always suspected this as well, like maybe there's a fungus that lives in the rain water...but it was probably just the weather and stress...but aussie, if you showered in rain water for the first time can you tell me cuz I wonder if that may be a factor.

Don't bring up old posts to reply to.

when anxiety kicks in, even the smallest itch that appears on your body makes you worry especially when you're anxious about hiv related disease.

after a while, anxiety physically manifest itself and yes, that is scary because you're messed up! you can't think, eat, sleep and/or do anything you used to do. being that way, your chances of worrying about hiv heightens. you feel you have it in your body...you somehow CAN feel hiv IN YOU where in fact its' just your mind.

i'm not saying HIV isn't real...but settle down and do the test.

Theres no such thing as an old post. People still search for "seborrheic dermatitis hiv" in google and come across this post, its best to talk about anything that may help us understand things because until hiv is cured, people will continue to find this post in google and read it and find answers that may help them.
