Ringworm rashes have circles on the skin because that is the worm under your skin. Ringowrm is not a symptom of the first stages of HIV. In fact, HIV doesn't really have any symptoms. If it does at all, they will be a mono-like illness that includes a high fever for a long period of time (a day or two), night sweats, slight neuropathy, swollen lymph nodes and being extremely tired. If you have had any of these symptoms and unprotected sex, or used injection drugs at any time in your life, then i strongly suggest you get tested in order to be safe and have sound mind.

Ringworm itches and the rash will have red ring-shaped welts - hence the name. Just need an anti-fungal cream the doc can give you for that. If left untreated, it can spread over your body and be very unpleasant.
Please go to the doc - stress may be causing the rash you have - it's the surest way to ease your mind. Get tested.

Ringworm is a fungus. You should be seen by a doctor before it spreads because it will make your hair fall out. As for the other symptoms - you may have a virus or an allergy. Just go to the doctor and get a diagnosis to put your mind a t ease.

Hi, the best things is to get it tested, i know u heard this a couple of time but thats the best answer. Before u went for a test ask urself the following question:
1. Do u have unprotected sex with any sex worker or someone u just met or of the same sex.
2. Do u have prolonged fewer, diarhhea....
if yes to both get it tested right away....

The only way to calm your fears is to have an HIV blood test. You can buy them in a pharmacy.

Get tested immediately. You shouldn't just let the conditions worsen. See a doctor now.
