Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a high risk sexual encounter about 8 months ago and for about 3 months now my skin on my arms becomes red when I get hot, wear long sleeves, or cross my arms. It is very strange. My face and upper chest also become red at times as well. My cheeks will sometimes have a red tint and if I wear glasses the nose piece will make my nose very red for a while. I had a negative hiv test but it was only 2 months after. No other real symptoms except a little fatigue and brain fog but I have stressed a lot in this time frame. The clonazepam I take every now and then for anxiety seems to make it worse. Could these be symptoms of hiv
I think, you are getting anxiety due to underline tension about HIV. In that case, what ever anxiety symptoms, you are getting, are due to stress. HIV mainly decrease body immunity and that lead to physical symptoms. You need a psychiatrist consultation and that would help to overcome this problem. You can also do relaxation exercise to keep yourself calm.
Thanks
