What do I have

[Jimz37]

What do I have ? I have has these red bumps  with little dimples on my arms, shoulders, and very few on my leg. The majority of the bumps are very small, but I can notice them. They don't itch they are just there. But I have sratched them and scratching makes them enlarge and get bright red. I have a few ideas of where I got them. 1) maybe from a hotel room and the sheets I slept in. I slept in the hotel on July 8. 2nd Another idea is maybe from a sexual encounter, I had a condom on, and was inside for only 1 min. This encounter took place before July, mid June late June. Bumps started to occur late July, early August. So they've been around for almost 2 months. The amount of them Is less than before and smaller. I also have joint pain. I think it's either Molluscum Contagiosum from a poxvirus because of the shape of the and size of the bumps or something far worse like HIV, which frightens me. I'm not sure what it is ? Please help?

I feel better. I am a bit of a hypochondriac and panic and get anxious about stuff like this.
What are some common HIV red flags or symptoms that make it obvious hiv?

Not an HIV concern.

I'm thinking about that , maybe get a biopsy. But I think it's molluscum contingiosum. By the characteristics of the bumps

See a dermatologist if you are concerned.

You don't have an HIV concern.
