Fear csw oral

Hi... i have a lot of concerns with a csw encounter... i went with a friend of mine to a csw and both received oral sex (first my friend and me after) for about 30/40 seconds without erection and ejaculation for the anxiety (i think for my friend was the same). after two weeks i had diarreha and a mild sore throat (probably i had the covid because all my family had it, but i didn t test me). i had a lot of panic attack thinking the encounter.. what scare me the most happened around the 4/5 weeks i started to have a mild daily headache (maybe stress and lack of sleep?) and a rash composed by two red blotches (around 1cm) on the back and 3-4 smaller on my belly ; i went to a dermatologist and he told me it s a pytiriasis rosea and that not resemble an hiv rash...
i tested myself after 45 days with a rapid finger prick blood test (only antibodies) and was negative and now i'm super scared to retest myself at 90 days.

So my questions are:
1.Am i at risk? i remember the mouth of the csw was dry..what if there was some blood and not a lot of saliva??
2.Is it possible to have an ARS rash like mine: only 2 spot and 3 more smaller? and how the ARS rash last (i have mine for more than 25 days)?
2.how accurate is my rapid test after 45 days? Can i trust the negative result ? if my symptoms were ARS i would have a test positive (i tested one week after the rash)?
3.i was on a cortisone cure at the time of the encounter and maybe i was a bit immunosuppressed. Can this increase my risk?
Thanks for your help

You know, most CSW's are trying to protect THEMSELVES  from people such as you that frequent them. They have their own vested interest in safety for themselves. Keep that in mind. You are a csw customer making you as much a risk to them as they are to you.

With that sad, you are worrying for nothing. Oral sex is NOT a risk for HIV. The only risks for HIV transmission are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs. That's it. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. To date, not a single person has ever been evidenced or documented to have gotten HIV from oral sex. You will not be the first.

And since it was NO RISK, all your questions are irrelevant. You didn't need to test and don't need to going forward. No symptoms have anything to do with this episode since it was no risk. and no, cortisone has nothing to do with hiv risk.

Thanks for your answer... i'm just scared for the rash.. i understand the no risk situation but the timing the rash appeared (4/5 weeks) sometimes make me think the worst.... IF I was in a risk situation can the ARS rash appear without fever and lymph? And last for that long (almost a month)?
An ARS rash can only appear in someone who is infected with HIV. Since you had ZERO risk, you do not have ARS, and whatever is causing your rash and any other medical issues has NOTHING to do with HIV.
Thank you for the reply...I hope you are right ...it was my first and last time with csw and i m scared... i'm just trying to understand how the rash is , appear and last....
" i'm just scared for the rash.. i understand the no risk situation but..." No you don't understand anything you've been told or you wouldn't continue to waste time worrying about a rash. Mothers don't take their babies to hospitals claiming they have hiv just because they have a rash. You  think every health issue follows some kind of schedule and think the rash must be related to hiv - which is illogical since health conditions happen when the skin is irritated - that's not a scheduled rash.
