Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Rashes on the penis could be caused by a local irritation, local skin infection by a bacteria or a fungus or an STI like syphilis or herpes. Only a keen examination and some work-ups can ascertain the diagnosis.Asking him to run an HIV test is just normal.I will always ask for an HIV test if i treat you for any sexually transmissible infection .You being negative does not tell about his result.Wait and have his own result.However, he should not be scared of the test.It is a condition that can be managed and a normal life lived.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
