Does Round Draining Sores In Arms And Abdomen Signify AIDS?
I met this lady, who is very thin, and about 50 years old. Her skin color is a pale kind of yellow and matty looking, and she has these round draining sores all over her arms and abdomin. What do you think it is? I have a weakened immune system and am afraid she has AIDS.

I guess you are not correct. HIV can't be judged from just looking at symptoms like thinness , weight loss , fever or those draining sores .etc. You can't contract HIV from this lady .
