I'm scared. Please help.?


When I was younger I was some what promiscous. I was tested for AIDS when I found out I was pregnant and the results were negative. I calmed down a lot since the birth of my son. In later years though I've developed 2 separate cases of shingles. I'm learning that people with Aids get those. Can you just get shingles for the sake of just getting them or are they something that comes about from AIDS. I don't have any other symptoms other than shingles.

You can get shingles from lots of things, you may be genetically inclined, or from having chicken pox as a kid. Shingles isn't just linked to AIDS. AIDS is a virus that makes your immune system deficient, so you can get anything including shingles, pneumonia, etc.
You should go to a Doc about those shingles anyway because they are pretty painful and itchy from what I'm told. Just let your Doc know your history and he will be able to treat you, and also make sure to mention your concerns about your prior promiscuity in relation to your health. The Dr. will be able to advise you of what to watch out for, and tests he can do for you if you want them, or the tests the Dr. feels are neccessary.
Until then though, I wouldn't worry about it.

when people get infected with the AIDS they are more prone to getting other virus like yeast infections herpes karposes sarcoma etc... shingles i thought is something u get when you are older and its really painful like all over your body. you can get herpes adn venereal warts without having AIDS just get checked it cant hurt worrying wont help just get checked and use PROTECTIon everytime because the aids is outthere and it only takes one time.. not to scare you but just get checked out! u have nothing tolose

maybe its just herpes not aids but i would be retested AIDS can appear at any time

shingles are related to chicken pox,not aids.i got them,and i never had chicken pox.
