Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Most unlikely that you are infected with HIV as you have used a barrier. There is a possibility of HIV entering the body through small abrasions in the mucous membrane of genitalia during intercourse, but as your rash is outside near the groin, less likely chance of any direct contact. However, you can get in touch with a skin doctor and get appropriate therapy for the rash on your groin.
Thanks.
