Skin rash in my chest back and arms could it be hiv?

Hello i am 21 year old student and i have a rash in my chest arms and back its not really itchy most of the time i did a test that tested negative and after that only had sex twice with diferent partners.

Its spring and i am allergic to the tree dust but it never manifested as a rash i tried a new antistaminic but i dont think i am allergic to that.

I saw that rashes more or less like mine red skin patches throghout could be a symptom for hiv but i have no headaches nor do feel more tired then usual


Please help out i am in the middle of exams and this is eating me up (gonna do blood works tommrrow)

The only way to know one's sexual health is to be tested. If you are concerned about it, I encourage you to do so.I encourage all sexually active people to be tested regularly for all STIs, including HIV , it may be every 3-4 months, bi-annually or annually, depending on an individual.Did you have a word with your family doctor regarding your symptoms  if not please take an appointment and do so as he is the right person to address your concerns.
