hiv connection

Hey guys. So I've come to the conclusion that those clusters of flesh coloured pimples on my chest are a manifestation of molluscum hence not an hiv related rash as I've past my 7th week now. The only problem is that molluscum is often cited in connection with hiv which concerns me a bit..they say that molluscum is more aggressive in late hiv infection and the like. Obviously I will seek a confirmatory diagnosis from my doctor about this but since its the pimples of the rash ARE NOT really visible unless viewed under clear light (as they are flesh coloured and invisible largely invisible if you simply look at it) I can tell that if it is indeed molluscum it would be pretty mild hence not aggressive. My question simply is whether the connection between molluscum and hiv is only stressed in people with LATE hiv infection (in other words those who have been infected for a few years) and has NO relationship with people with early infection

Another relevant consideration is that I never had any skin diseases when I was a child hence no measles chicken pox or anything like that much less mollucscum would that make me prone to it as an adult?

This is not an HIV concern. See your dermatologist if you are concerned.
