Is there an HIV risk for me?

Hello,

So in february i recieved unprotected oral sex with a csw. I also met 2 other csw who used sex toys on me. Is there a risk of HIV in those cases? I have recently noticed quite a few spots on my back and am worried that they look similar to an HIV rash from what i have seen on the internet. Please help!

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  ( toys, mouth, lips .) No worries, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the worst that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
You should stop googling for symptoms of a disease you can't have. If you think the spots are a health risk see your doc for  diagnosis but if it is just a rash there are 100 things that can cause that, but not hiv for you since you do not have it.

I agree.  You don't describe anything that is a risk for HIV.  Since air and saliva inactivate the virus, both oral sex and objects being inserted will not transmit the virus.  Only risks for HIV are unprotected vaginal or anal sx or sharing IV drug needles.
