HI
Thanks for posting your query to HCM .
First of all it's very unlikely to get HIV infection after a protected sex , so I don't think you have HIV . And the rashes what you are having is not due to HIV but something else .
But still if you are feeling very anxious you can get HIV testing now as 3 months is enough for HIV infection to show on Blood tests .
