HIV infection
I am frightful that I have contracted HIV from my partner. I myself am a carrier of HSV. recently I had a prolonged sore throat with acute lymph node inflammation, followed by a herpes outbreak in my mouth, and now I am experiencing small slightly raised pink bumps on my right arm, neck, and scalp. the bumps are hardly noticeable, but they have a distinct itch about them. I feel like this doesn't look good.
In what ways are my symptoms not characteristic of HIV? what are characteristics of HIV infection?

HIV questions really belong in the HIV prevention forum (see above for a link), but this isn't sounding like HIV.
You need to get this checked, and you can ask for an HIV test. If you are concerned that your partner has HIV, he/she needs to get checked too.
If you have any further HIV questions, then post in the HIV forum.
