Pimples On Stomach, Shoulders, And Stomach After Having Protected Sex. Is It HIV?

I had a protected encounter with a lady but I was unsure of her status. I used the same condom for oral sex and then intercourse. About two weeks later I got two huge pimples, one in the middle of my chest and one below the pectoral muscle. They healed in about two weeks but left blemishes. I then started to break out with acne bumps on my stomach, shoulders and a couple on my stomach. They all healed but left blemishes. I have a small lymph node on my underarm. I haven t had any other symptoms of flu, sore throat, weakness, etc. Could i have HIV exposure

Hello
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. I dont think so you will have immediate effects after exposure and as to remove your doubt you can take a hiv strip test to ruleout that and you must have that even after 6 months to know he status. The symptoms you have mentioned are like hives and for this no obvious treatment is required but if you have acne before that consult a dermatologist once to rule out acne vulgaris. Thank you.
