Is Rosacea A Symptom Of HIV?

is rosacea a symptom of HIV? i have what looks like rosacea below my eyes, when i touch it it kind of burns tingly feeling. I also have had two cysts on my Uvula for 6 weeks now along with a very mild sore throat if that. My risk is deep kissing along with mutual masturbation with a girl that I did not know. I also am uncircumcised if it matters. I came down with prostatitis about 6 weeks ago, it s gone now..which i took cipro for it. a day after my exposure to kissing I developed a puffy face on the right side. I took augmentin for it and it went a way..doctor diagnosed me with strep, pharyngitis,prostatitis. Was I at risk for HIV at all? and if so what kind of risk?

Hello
Let me explain about rosacea :It is characterized by presence of erythema, telangiectases and superficial pustules ,but is not associated with the presence of comedones.
While in HIV there are mile degree fever, pharyngitis , lymphadenopathy, headachere /retro-ortbital pain, arthralgia/myalgias, lethragy/malaise, anorexia/weight loss, nausea,vomiting/diarrhea.
Mucocutaneous ulceration with coating on tongue , erythmatous maculopappular rash.
However few of these symptoms , you are also having but this is not an indication of HIV infection.
Now on the main point of CONTACT with a girl ( according to your history of illness).
You mentioned that you kissed deeply with mutual masturbation ( with hands ) .
First of all about the kissing.
Although HIV can be isolated typically in low titers from saliva of a small proportion of infected individuals, there is NO CONVINCING EVIDENCE that saliva can transmit infection either through kissing in any way .
In your case saliva played major role and salivary secretions contains endogenous ANTIVIRAL FACTORS i.e. so no chance of getting HIV infection.
Now about masturbation , if you introduced your finger in her vagina ,and she was HIV infected , you may got infection (HIV ) if your fingers were having cut .
So get in rapid test for HIV confirmation.
Good luck.
