Could this be Kaposi Sarcoma?

Could this be Kaposi Sarcoma?

I have five spots on my right thigh which look like kaposis.
The spots are Waxy in appearance. First three spots/lesions are slightly raised. Do not itch, pain or blanch. Looks rather dark in colour in my dark brown skin complexion and looks slightly reddish under light. 2 or 3 small hairs can be seen growing on these spots and in some, black dots which look like hair follicles can be seen. Its remained as such for 8-9 years now.It appeared when I was 14 and now I am 23. First 3 spots (indicated by blue circles in the pics) are slightly raised and the remaining 2 spots (indicated by black circles) are in line with my skin. I have a hairy body. I have a dark brown complexion (Asian). Spots look slightly reddish under light in my dark brown skin.

Please note that I have never had sex with anyone or indulged in anything risky. I have only indulged in solo masturbation. I'm a male, heterosexual, virgin, Asian (dark-brown skinned Indian).

Is it true that kaposi can occur anytime regardless of CD4 count?
Is this how KS behaves?
If not KS, what could these spots/lesions possibly be?
Once it appears, does it undergo any change in appearance? like a change in size or change in colour

these are the pics
