So this would only be an issue if you were sleeping with an HIV infected person right next to you and the bed bug bit them first, then you, within minutes. The HIV virus is very fragile and will die if it...

First thing that comes to my mind and the most probable is fleas. You don''t neccesarily need to have pets to have fleas. Friends who have pets that have fleas and have visited could of brought them over, also mice and other rodents are flea carriers also. Another thing that comes to mind is chiggers.

Ryan Is this that you are experiencing VERY painful? The only real pain I am feeling is from the numerous bites that are in my armpits.
