Hi,

Two small areas on my torso (about the size of a bottle top) each with 10 or so tiny pink dots/spots in them.
Thank you

I would be more concerned about high fevers--101+,it's the most common ARS symptom but you already know when to test,the rest is neither here nor there.

Like a heat rash. Symptoms or lack of will not tell you anything about your HIV status.

Yes, one time unprotected sex and I know I need to test but its only been 16 days so its too early and I just need some peace of mind over the rash to get through the next few weeks. I really do understand that it's difficult to tell me much over the Internet but I would really appreciate your advice with regards these spots/rash
