Worrying about having HIV

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi im 21 years old male i start to having pimples well they look like little pimples around my sexual organ i dont know why im having those stuff on my skin im really worrying about this what should i do ?

Dear Alex: The pimples that you are seeing may probably be pearly penile papules which are nerve ending and a commonly seen in young adult males. No treatment is required unless for cosmetic reasons. If you are concerned about a contracted sexually transmitted infection and HIV, I suggest you to consult your family physician and get yourself tested for HIV and STDs. In some cases, the early infection of HIV may not be detectable in the blood-work. So an additional test may be done in 3-6 months to confirm the disease.
