DEAR SIR LAB REPORTS are attached

Brief Answer: Non worrisome Detailed Answer: Hi The labs are clear that you do not carry any infection now. The bumps and rash are just incidental finding on your careful notice. They should disappear on their own. Be sure to test for ELISA for HIV after one month. Most likely it would be non reactive but to complete the testing.
