Hello

Just a few more questions, any time that anyone can spare is most appreciated.

I know that you have told me that kissing a HIV positive person late last October is No Risk, also about 5 week ago a guy of unknown status masturbated me and a day later i noticed i had a scratch in my groin area which worried me as perhaps he had precum/semen on his fingers- I anticipate the answer to this will be No Risk.

However as i have had a rash on my lower left side and am now coming down with either a cold or flu i have the following question.

1. I was prescribed hydrocortisone cream for the rash and it now seems to have mostly gone, would this cream work if it was an ARS rash?

Just wanted to say thank you for all your time on here, if anything you have made me more aware about transmission and i am dealing with my fears more calmly.

Wishing you all the best in 2008

Unsure

You were never at risk and you don't have an ARS rash. If the cream doesn't work see your doctor if it concerns you.

Thanks for the speedy reply - much appreciated!

Sorry what i meant to say is that the cream has made the rash dissapear. I dont think hydrocortisone would work on ARS rash would it?

Many Thanks
