I doubt this has anything to do with HIV.  HIV rashes ten\d to be associated with fever and feeling generally lousy.  But what's the point of worrying and speculating?  Get yourself examined and tested again, so you won't interpret minor skin irregularities that are unrelated to sex or to each other.

Take care.  And use condoms.

Well you can add upset stomach and fatigue to the list as I dont think Ive ever been so stressed out in my life!!!! Last night I felt well I dont know what I felt like, lik eI was going insane. This morning the rash hasn't changed much maybe an extra "pimple" or two. It seems to be concentrated in a small area again roughly4" across and a couple inches high with some satelite "pimples" are it. Definitely raised and somewhat itchy. Looking forward to your thoughts
