seborrhiev dermatitis and its relation to hiv infection

hi i recently went to the dermatologist for a rash on the back of my scalp she told me it was a fugal infection was givin a paper for seborrheic dermatitis and was told that i also have a stork bite birth mark. she proscribed me with ketoconazole 2% shampoo.  I first notice the rash after a long bike ride with a old helmet.  I recently have been testing for hiv for the last 3 months due to a high risk condom break with a girl a barely know she said she got tested before we sleept together but in this world you can trust no one. stupid as all hell i know i have does three tests one three day blood test 2 weeks after contact oral tests at 6 and 8 weeks and at 12 weeks now my questions is yesterday the initial rash started to fade but  later in the day the the area around the stork bite got very red and itchy i put some hydrocortozone on it and the next morning it was not as red but still a little itchy.  what are the chances that this is related to hiv infection and what is the next step  help would be greatly apprectiated 3 months of worry are really starting to get to me

You tested at 12 weeks- which is right outside the window period. Therefore you are conclusively negative! Your "symptoms" do not matter because they are not from HIV. Accept your negative status and move on :)

3 months is conclusive. You don't have HIV.
