Post by: brucewayne on June 01, 2006, 11:23:10 am

i would like everyones opinion on this. i heard that a sign of hiv or aids is that a small bump around the middle of your forhead near the top of forhead that is small, soft, gushy type feeling that stays around for a long time or may not go away is a sign of hiv or aids

Bruce,

To be honest, I've never heard anything so silly in my life. A lump on the head is usually a sign of blunt trauma to the head, not hiv.

Is there a specific reason why you are worried about hiv infection?

Please read through the Welcome thread at the top of this forum.

Man I must have missed out on that one. I surely had plenty time to get that one. Go to a dermatologist and have it looked at.

Bruce,

Is there a specific reason why you are concerned that you might be hiv positive? Unless you've been having unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse, it is very unlikely that you are infected with hiv.
