Fear of having gotten HIV

On the 8th of March I met a girl and we got talking and I was really into her. It turned out that she was a **********. I was however really into her by that point and I said what the hell.

However during the course of sex (I had a condom but before I could use it), she started rubbing my penis on her vagina and ***oris. There was definite presence of vaginal fluid on the head of the penis.

I freaked out, but was assured by her that she is not HIV positive and I have nothing to worry about.

I later looked up symptoms of HIV on the net and one of the symptoms mentioned was rashes. about a week later I found red bumps on the arm. -https://ibb.co/i1T99c

Started to apply normal cream on the spots (the ones you apply in the winters to keep your lips and cheeks from cracking) and the redness of the bumps went away after a 2-3 days and the bumps also started to 'fall' . The bumps are all much smaller than when started and have started to merge back into the skin.

I have had no fever in this period.

So I was really freaked out and want to post some questions -

1) How many days after HIV do rashes appear?
2) How many days do they last?
3) Can the rashes appear without other symptoms such as fever?
4) Can the rashes go away without specific treatment, and by applying just any winter cream?

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.

If you don't do either of those activities, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.  Nothing else you can think of, including the event you described, is a risk for HIV.  There isn't any detail you could add to this event to make it a risk for HIV.

No comment on the rashes as you had no risk for HIV, and thus, any rashes would be unrelated.
