Brief Answer:
No black elbow or rash on elbow is not the sign of HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX welcome to HCM.

Black elbow or rash on it is not the sign of HIV, it might be due some other reason for which you can contact your local doctor.

Second thing is, you had unprotected sexual intercourse before 5 years and till now you are fine apart from recent problem of elbow rash than the chance of getting HIV infection is very rare.
