Detailed Answer:
Hi
So glad to hear about the HIV test.
I told you right that it would be negative ?
You were just getting so anxious for no reason.
Regarding the ALT: Yes, it could be alcohol induced.
Get the hepatitis test done if not done.
I do not think that would be positive either.
Psoriasis of what body part did he suspect ?

Regards.
