Am I at risk?

Dear Doctors and Experts!
I would love to get help in this matter. I went for a massage in Vietnam. The masseuse used his mouth to stimulate my uncovered penis. 2 times in a row with 2 different people for a total of 40 minutes (2 times 5 minutes apart), 50% of the time they used their mouths and the other 50% they used their hands to stimulate my penis.
After 1 hour, my penis was itchy and I went to check and there was no wound, the next day I had tiny pimples on my penis but now it's only fading but not completely healed.
My question is if this happens will I be at risk of getting HIV?
1. If there is a problem with my urethra and the girl has a problem with her mouth, am I at risk. (I have not gone to the doctor but am worried that I have urethritis because I sometimes have burning pain when urinating but before massaging my penis is normal and has no symptoms.)
2. If my penis has an invisible wound and the girl's mouth has a problem, will I be okay?
I look forward to hearing from the doctors and experts in the forum soon!
Only 2 masseurs used their mouths and hands to stimulate my penis. And I didn't use my mouth to stimulate the vaginas of those two girls, but just put my hand into the vaginas of those two girls.

Here are the things that transmit HIV. They include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  Air and saliva inactivate the virus. Your activity does not put you at risk for HIV. The answers to question 1 and 2 are that neither makes what happened a risk for HIV transmission.

Thank you very much
you are welcome
Help me. I remember one detail that the prostitute used her tongue to poke my pee hole. So I'm afraid the HIV virus will get in if she has mouth problems (inflammation or some sores or wounds) will I still be safe from hiv?
And I also remember another problem is that I have very little liquid secretion (not sperm because I ejaculate outside) very little, I see when prostitutes use their hands to stimulate my penis. But I think it came out while she stimulated me with her mouth. So am I at risk?
Actually, I'm still a bit worried because the 2 masseurs who used their mouths to stimulate my penis are both prostitutes in Vietnam. So I would love to get help. I'm so grateful!
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (lips, clothes, fluids,  fingers, maybe blood, maybe suts etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get 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.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe.

This means I won't get infected through my behaviour. Even if that prostitute has a problem, right?

Oral sex is no risk and recieving oral sex is even less riskier u r safe it's better to be in monogamous  long term relationship.
Safe, health and simple rule to stay away from anxiety and guilt

I would just ask myself if something like "unprotected vaginal or anal sex or injections" happens if the answer to "no" means that I am "safe in all cases", am I correct?

You keep asking the same question, so I'm guessing you are still feeling unsure, but you keep mentioning injections.  Injections don't cause this problem, sharing the same needle with other people can.  Just clarifying here.
Oh, I'm sorry for repeating the same question, but since I'm more of a nervous person, I hope everyone understands. I don't have vaginal sex with strangers, especially with unprotected sex workers, and I'm not addicted to drugs and don't share needles.
And from now on I will never go to such places again, it's really not good.
I'm really grateful to everyone, I've learned a lot from everyone in this community. Thanks
It has been explained that you had no exposure to hiv from what you did. You can do what you did at any time although you risk getting Covid.
Thank you very much

chilidude. It is not up to anyone here to advise people where to go - especially when they have no risk going there.
