POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi.

Thank you for your email.

Since you are not on ARV's yet, you need to consult with a dermatologist ASAP to get a diagnosis. Usually skin diseases come out, also because of the weakened immune system. Infections and lack of sleep will trigger the spiraling down of your immune system so it is important that you seek consult fast. Make sure to disclose your HIV status to your dermatologist so that your condition will be fully understood.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
