Hello. Thank you for writing to us
Since you have tested negative, by a screening test for HIV, 3 months after your sexual contact, therefore, I think you are safe. This is conclusive.
Your systemic symptoms were possibly due to an unrelated cause and probably you had an episode of hives which responded to benadryl.
The pimple like lesions that you presently notice on your back and arms are most likely acne.
Back and shoulders just like face are common sites for acne/pimples.
I suggest you to use topical benzoyl peroxide twice daily. A benzoyl peroxide wash would also help with acne on torso.
Yeast infection of the tongue/ thrush could be a consequence of being treated with Oral antibiotics for your preceding illness.
Regards
