HIV related skin conditions

Hello,

About a year ago i went to Thailand, got very drunk..and had anal sex with a ladyboy. I wore a condom and the whole "experience" lasted no longer than 15-20 seconds. Condom appeared to ,stay intact but mind games sometimes have me thinking otherwise.

Anyway I've developed this blotch our little circle looking patch on my nose that i can't really describe as a lesion. Under the bathroom light it almost looks like a crater (not raised and no pain or sensitivity). Definitely not pimple related. So to my question and curiosity, how long does it "normally" take for skin conditions to develop as a result of HIV? I don't see any other skin issues on my body but I've always had tons of moles everywhere from top to bottom.

Thanks for your time. Yes i am a person to obsess over just about anything related to health
