Is There A Chance Of Infecting With HIV And Could That Be The Reason For Ingrown Hair Infection?
I have what looks like an infected ingrown hairs on the inner cheeks of my buttocks. They have been here for over a month. I got a bunch of ingrown hairs after shaving and soon after that I had gay, protected sex. The problem is he took off the condom and ejaculated over my ingrown hairs. I took a shower immediately after. Is there a chance I could have contracted HIV and that is why the ingrown hair infection isn't healing?

HIV infection is transmitted only through blood and blood products. It can't be transmitted through skin contact. Your infection might not be healing because the ingrown hair is still present and persistently causing irritation and infection of that area.
There is a simple treatment. Apply hot towel to that area for 10 min every time you go the washroom. The boil will burst and the hair follicle will come out and the infection will resolve
