You need to try and get productively busy instead of mirco examining your body for signs of HIV. You can test initally at 6 weeks this will give you a good indication and then again at 13 weeks for a reliable and conclusive result.
Stress and anxiety can have a serious affect on both your mind and body, try as best you can to get busy and fill this time to testing rather than stressing,

The rash associated with ARS does not itch and is flat.
You need to take a test as you had unprotected sex. At 6 weeks it will give you a really good indication and at 3 months it will be conclusive.
A pimple like rash and a rash that itches however, are not ARS related. Guaranteed.

You had unprotected sex, Now you have to test. nothing more to ad. The pimples are not HIV specific. If you want to talk about it you can visit the HIV anxiety forum.

Testing at 3 months post exposure is the only way to know ones status, your symptoms do not sound like HIV symptoms, Test to know your status
