as long you used the condom, you are safe..
if the condom had failed,it will fail catastrophically and you would have noticed
oral sex cant transmit hiv
you never had a risk...

a 3 month test is conclusive in someone who had an exposure..

You never had an exposure and a rash on your hands is not an HIV rash.
