sex with high risk prostitute

Hi Dr. H,
I tested negative for HIV about two weeks after my encounter in January so the test may have not detected it.  About a week later I developed an itchy rash all over my body.  I initially attributed it to either Wellbutrin, which I had just started taking about two weeks prior, or tylenol, which I havent been allergic to before but I took it right before developing the rash.  I was prescribed prednisone which stopped the rash.  Would the ARS rash also be responsive to steroids?  Do you think that this could have been an ARS rash.  I am particularly worried because today I was informed by my dermatologist that I likely have genital warts.  She mentioned that it is very widespread but most people do not show symptoms, usually only people with weakened immune systems show symptoms.  As I developed the warts after this incident in January, I am now extremely worried about the possibility of having HIV that went undetected in that test.
