The symptoms you have are not indicative of HIV. Acute HIV infection may cause a rash, but it may also cause cold like or flu like symptoms as well, and it may also cause no symptoms. It seems you are very anxious so you may request a PCR test which will test for the virus rather than the antibodies, this will help rule out HIV
