Do I Need To Test Again For HIV 1 And 2 When The Last Two Tests Over Two Years Are Negative?

I got tested for hiv in May 17 then got recently tested again in Jan 18 . Both the times it came Hiv 1 and 2 as non reactive. Do i need to retest . Because a month ago i got a ulcer on my tongue which got cured and sometimes i get red rash on skin after bath . I get anxious because of it . I hope its not related to it .

Hi,

Your tongue ulcer and the rashes were very much unlikely to be due to HIV. You don't need another test for HIV unless you are still sexually active even now.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sankaranantham Murugan, HIV AIDS Specialist
