Brief Answer:
unlikely HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
This would be an unlikely presentation for HIV. It usually shows up as a cold or flu symptoms with cough congestion and low grade fever. I suggest you get tested now and again in 3 months. Heat rash seems most likely.
