Rash from any systemic infection/disease will always normally come with other symptoms. Even if you had a fever with your rash that still does not point to HIV. Symptoms mean absolutely nothing. I've been tested negative out to 6 months and had pityriasis rosea all over my body, including my penis. I also had a slight sinus infection during/before this time and my lymph nodes were enlarged.

I've learned (the hard way) that symptoms aren't an indicator for anything.

Could be the normal pigment of your skin. I have some "redder" areas on my face, arms etc. I'm quite pale, though.

Check with a dermatologist if it's bugging you.
