Hello
Thanks for query .
Red bumps on glans penis with itching are most likely to be due to infection of Glans penis (Ballanitis) developed due to contamination during masturbation .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters (Masturbation ) till it heals up completely.
It is not a yeast infection neither HIV .
Please note that one acquires HIV only after having unprotected sex with HIV positive female partner or unnatural sex with male partner .
