ars rash

hello,
i have two final questions. as now exactly for weeks after my exposure i have what seems to be an arsh rash. 10 red spots of half an ich diameter that hurt a little when touching on my chest. they appeared since this morning. and i have smaller red spots on my upper legs that are there already two days looking like ingrowns.
1) is this likely an ars rash?
2) what is the probability that this ars rash is the only symptom?
3) how likely is it for symptoms to appear after 4 weeks? and after 6 weeks?
thank you so much for your support. right now you are the ones kind of saving my life.

You were advised in your pervious thread that your rash is not an ARS rash and that symptoms or lack of will not tell you anything about your status if you have had an exposure.

ARS rashes are non itching and do not come alone. Fever (101+F) is an essential part of the ARS package.  Yours do not look like ARS rashes. Do not confuse yourself with symptoms, they are misleading in most of the cases. Get yourself tested after 12 weeks if you had an exposure (unpotected vaginal or anal sex)
