Hi
Greasy oil of skin is not a symptom of HIV.
Symptoms of HIV are repeated episodes of fever, cough, diarrhea, weight loss etc...
If you are having still doubt please consult a nearby ICTC( integrated counselling and testing Centre) Centre nearby where you can get tested.
Generally symptoms of HIV arecseen within 6 months of infection.
Regarding skin problems please consult a dermatologist nearby who can examine you and prescribe some soaps.
