No. KS is a late manifestation of HIV; it occurs only in overt AIDS, i.e. usually several years after acquiring HIV. And only in gay men (you don't say the sex of your partners); KS is rare in others with AIDS.

but is it possible for karposi sarcoma to show up after 6 weeks from the initial exposure?
The additional information doesn't change my advice. See a health care provider.

sorry,
i forgot to mention that when i press on it the color goes away then reappears....i also have papules on my penis and was thinking this could be one as well? are they ever dark in color?
I cannot make a diagnosis online and won't even try. But your description doesn't sound particularly like Kaposi's sarcoma, and your negative HIV test rules out that possibility with 100% certainty. The only way to get a diagnosis is to see a health care provider. Don't try to get any useful information on line; there is no advice anybody can give you that will allow you to avoid getting examined. If cost or cultural sensitivity is an issue, visit your local health department STD clinic for expert, confidential care.
