It has been 3 weeks since possible exposure. Been keeping an eye on my health and symptoms. Today I notice about 8 red spots around 1/8 of an inch in diameter, non itchy on my left forearm. No other symptoms, but maybe swollen lymph nodes, not sure, but nothing else. Is it possible I might be experience hiv infection rash?

ARS rash is body wide. Not just limited to arms. Around 70% of people with ARS have fever, sore throat and body wide rash. Since you dont have fever and sore threat, your symptoms are not suggestive of ARS. Get a duo test at 4 weeks. Over 99% of people show up positive on duo test at 4 weeks.

I was receptive anal by a transsexual for about 30 seconds to a minute. When I pulled away the condom was stuck to my rectum. Not sure if the condom did its job.
