I have an infection that causes small boils that turn into ulcers that refuses to heal. All my lab test indicates hiv but the anti-retroviral drugs given to me only worsens the infection and ensures the ulcers don't heal. I took the anti-retroviral drugs for 6 months and for 6 months the ulcers didn't heal. As soon I stopped the anti-retroviral, the ulcers healed. So I stopped taking the anti-retroviral. Having stopped taking the anti-retroviral, other health concerns occurred that sent me back to taking the anti-retroviral. As soon as I started the anti-retroviral, the small boils came up and turned into ulcers that has refused to heal. My question is 1. Is it possible the lab results showing hiv is wrong and the virus found in my blood test is something else altogether which the machines are erroneously showing as virus that lab attendants have settled for hiv as possible results 2. What medication can I take for the ulcers as vitamin c and some antibiotics taken aren't working.
