Brief Answer:
Not related to HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
You had protected sex every time and all HIV tests result are negative even after 6 months so nothing to be worried about because you are safe and risk free from HIV. Forget about the episode and move on in life without any fear, anxiety or stress.
White line on cheek is due to some skin lesion but it is not related to HIV. Consult your dermatologist to isolate the cause and follow the treatment. You will be fine soon. For any further query feel free to ask me any time and I am here to help you always.
Thank You
