Hi, I am 23 and me and my partner have been diagnosed with hiv for past 3 years. I am currently on medication (forstavir-le) it's Been 6 months since I've started this medicine but lately on my back shoulder (right side) and on my chest a red pimples kind of rashes have started to appeared. Not on my whole body but just on the small areas. At first I thought it was pimples but its not and also it does not itch. Should I be more concerned about it? Or it can be cured?

To better understand the causes, risk and consequences of STDs, please take a private consult and then I can guide you properly and tell you what you need to do, till you can come for personal consultation. Its only once in 6-months and later annually.
