Could A Skin Rash After Unprotected Sex Be Due To HIV Infection?

Hello, i had a recent run in with a sex worker and the condom broke. (stupid mistake!!). The day after the encounter i had noticed that the skin on my arms was peeling. i put lotion on it and it went away, but today after i put the lotion on i noticed 3 little pimple like bumps forming, within 15 minutes they where almost gone. it has been 10 days since my encounter and i know its to early for the test, but i ordered 2 home tests i will take on on the 30 day and one on the 90 day but i would like your opinion on my Possible rash. I thank you for your time and i realized i messed up bad but lesson learned.

Hi, your symptoms are not of hiv. its too early for hiv symptoms to appear. it may be due to some other disease. and your test is also not valid . because you may be in window period. so you should go for confirmatory hiv testing once.you can go with p24 antigen or pcr. Anf consult dermatologist for your skin problems and take treatment accordingly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
