Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No HIV can not cause acute onset skin rashes in just 6 hours time.
In my opinion, your skin rashes are due to other viral infection like herpes.
Herpes infection is very common in HIV patients. So that lady might be having this infection which is spread by skin contact (during Intercourse) and causing herpes infection in you.
Better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination.
Also check for HIV after 1 month.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
