ARS Rash 4 months later

I have two bumps on between my chest and shoulder that look like pimples that hurt one is the size of a dime.  One I happened to pop and a little white stuff came out.  I had sex with a CSW worker back at the end of December.  Would it be possible to seroconvert this late?  I thought I was in the clear but 2 weeks ago I had a case of Molluscum on my genital area that has so far gone away after treatment from my Doctor.  Could I be seroconverting this late?  It was protected oral and vaginal.  Prior to that I had seen another protected encounter in October...  I was under the impression protected sex is always safe sex but now I am really scared and praying I didn't make consistent bad choices..  Could it be a sudden problem with my immune system that the molluscum showed up and now this?  I have read sites that say ars rash and molluscum are common in seroconversion.  Please let me know, I am very scared.  Thank you.

You never had a risk of contracting HIV.

Last question.

The 2 bumps seem to be dark and they are both raised.  Would this at all make you think it is HIV related?  Could it be ARS or am I driving myself nuts... Thanks again...

1. "The molluscum is unrelated." - Yes.
2. "It could not be ARS rash this late." - No, it couldn't be.
3. "I have little or no risk." - It was no risk, not little risk. The condom would either stay intact or break visibly and there's no thing such as 'small hole', it's an urban myth.
4. "I need to move on..." - Yes.

So you are basically saying:  

1.  The molluscum is unrelated.
2.  It could not be ARS rash this late.
3.  I have little or no risk.
4.  I need to move on...

Thanks again...

You didn't have HIV risk at all and they all have nothing to do with HIV, so you'd better visit a doctor and stop thinking that you have contracted HIV.

A follow up I did have sex with 5 prostitutes this year..  All were protected vagina and two were unprotected oral.  The last encounter was in the last week of December.  Sorry I didn't say this earlier I am very scared right now..
