Kaposi Sarcoma which is a skin cancer that people with HIV get very often. It is very noticeable as it leaves blackish lesions.

The best way to be able to get these answers is not on a message board, but consulting a physician or healthcare provider. I know it can be scary and embarassing, but it really is the best idea. Often times symptoms don't appear until the virus is very active in your system. If you are scared of your parents finding out, there are many free clinics scattered across the country that you can look into. To search for a free clinic, you can go to http://www.uniteforsight.org/freeclinics.php

go to mayoclinic.com
These are usually late in the infection, when you have full-blown AIDS.
