I'm a 23 year old female. I have scalp folliculitis. I have been prescribed numerous antibiotics but after a while the pustules on my scalp re appear. Now I am on homeopathy but there are no significant results. I read it on the internet that it happens to diabetics and to those who have HIV. I got my sugar checked. It's under control. I'm a newly married and I have only one sexual partner whose my husband. Am I at a risk of HIV since I have scalp folliculitis which is there since 10 months and no medicine is suiting me? Can scalp folliculitis be used as the ONLY symptom of being at a risk for HIV? Because in the past one year I haven't had any mild fever or rash or heavy sweating at night or any other symptom of HIV.
