Had a rash on my right leg, blood blister on my left. (kaposi sarcoma?) blood blister on my back.
white spots on the inside of my cheeks.
styes.
red spots on my skin.

have had a negative antibody at the 6 month 10 day mark.

Could I have a staph infection with these symptoms?

This does not sound like you have HIV. The only symptoms for HIV are within the first two weeks of coming in contact with HIV you will have flu-like symptoms and a rash on your torso. They will go away with regular antibiotics. After that there will not be anything until your immune system is so compromised that you are affected by opportunistic infections (Kaposi sarcoma, pneumosystic pneumonia). However, you said that you were tested at the 6 month time and that the test was negative. It is VERY rare that if someone has contracted HIV that they would not develop the HIV antibodies within 3-6 months. I hope that this helped.

A number of symptoms associated with the flu may be the first to arise as early signs of HIV. These include:

headache
fever
tiredness
swollen lymph nodes (generally in the neck)
rash

Other possible symptoms are muscle and joint pain, sore throat, and ulcers in the mouth or on the genitals. Some people also experience night sweats and diarrhea.

I dont Think you are HIV positive. IF you have had the ELISA test and it is negative. If you are engaging in high risk behavior re: sharing needles, sexual activity with multiple partners without protection or for that matter any high risk sexual activity, you should repeat the test in say like a year after your last encounter.
You could just be a hypochondriac.
