Thank you teak you are a good help. I will first test at six weeks to bring down my anxiety and then again at 3 months. But is it true that ars rash usually is on multiple parts of the body no just a single slash on one arm. And if it was ars related would it leave a scar?

No, HIV rashes don't get scab like marks on them. You can test at 3 months post exposure and your test will be conclusive.
