hi
A weak immune system can attribute to many things including skin problems. However just because you do have skin irritations doesn't mean you have HIV. It's good you got tested 6 months after your last possible exposure however if you have had an unsafe act with someone getting tested again is advisable.

Is your question that you think you may have HIV based on the fact you suffer from skin problems? Most people with HIV have no 'symptoms' at all. Having Hiv/Aids means that your immune system is affected. I have skin problems yet have never had the flu or a sickness before, I am extreamly healthy yet suffer from skin reactions. Having eczma doesn't mean you have a weak immune system at all.

Most scientists say that 6 months is the recommended time gap. If you think you are at risk getting further tests will not hurt it will only put your mind at ease. No having eczema is not a sign of a weak immune system ... some say that is caused by having family history of asthma and some say it is just a sign of sensitive skin, as I said I get eczma bad and have been told I am extreamly healthy ... I have never even taken more then 5 or so panadole in my life and I haven't been in hospital ... besides to bear children.

Strengthening your immune system
There are many products available for those who either want to or need to boost their immune system. I recommend that you always check the ingrediants and ignore the hype. I am basically healthy and have chosen to boost my system as I am over 50 and refuse to take the yearly flu shots. One product I've tried and feel comfortable with is FuCoyDon a product of SISEL International. I've used others that I had to gag down, but so far this one not only tastes good, I feel great. As I said, you should always do your own research and find something that you'll stay with.

what I would suggest

- do not use antibiotics or vacinations, because they kill natural body immune system

- do not use diet drinks or any food with Aspartame(artificial sweetener) - it's poison

- use natural food, natural immune booster herbs like Boneset, Chamomile, Astragalus, Ginseng

- use turpentine baths method to restore your metabolism
