Does this sound like an ARS Rash?

I have developed a pimple type rash on my upper chest area thats been there for about 2 weeks.  They are small red raised pimples that don't itch or burn.  The skin around the pimples is still normal color.  i have about 40 or 50 of this pimples scattered around the upper portion of my chest. They seem to became a darker red color right after a shower.  I do shave my chest and have been for years and never have had a breakout of any kind.  I have been suffering anxiety over the last few weeks after a broken condom incident with a female.  I did test negative for HIV after 6 weeks.  Should I be concerned over this out break and does this sound like an ars rash?

never go with symptoms....for any judgment testing will only help since u have only rash & if u didnot had sex with any sexworker ur possiblity of catching virus is almost zero.
as mentioned by kumar u allready tested for 6 weeks which is good indication.
dont loose ur sleep over this ur safe...buddy
just if u feel test after 8 weeks to 12 weeks for conclusive result( 3 months 100% accurate)

ars symptoms appear between 2-4 weeks after exposure
and you tested negative at 6 weeks and that is fantastic
dont mess with your head it must be just a simple rash due to some allergy
test again at 3 mths for a conclusive result
