HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is understandable to be concerned about any abnormal lesion on the body.

There are different types of HIV tests, the window period can vary according to the test done.
The window period is the time from exposure to the point where a test can conclusively and definitely say if an infection is present.

There are some hiv tests with a window period of 2 to 4 weeks, this means after 4 weeks they can definitely say if HIV is present.
The older tests may have longer window period of three months.

If you did the HIV test after the window period of that particular test, then it would have given you the true result and you are Not HIV positive.

HSV1 is very very common, it causes mouth ulcers/sores.

You can screen for the other sexually transmitted infections. If these are negative then the dot may be due to trauma to the area.

I hope this helps
