pinkish swollen after 9 months of exposure

From Jan 2008 to Nov 2008 I was working in chicago and had several encounters with men and women.  I never had anal sex with men or unprotected sex with women.  All my encounters with men (8 men on different dates) were mutual unprotected oral sex.  I never took the cum in my mouth whereas my partners took my cum in their mouth.  I am not sure about taking precum.  Mutual unprotected oral sex with women (5 women on different dates).

From Dec 2008 to till date I stopped my actions.  During Sep 09 I had a pinkish swollen raised pimple (less than a penny size) near my groin.  That lasted for 3 months and disappeared.  I am getting pink color pimples on my face almost daily in new places and disappears.  First I got three pimples which were very close to each other.  This took almost 2 months to go away.  First I applied itchy creams and later an oinment and finally the cluster went away.  Other than this I had no fever or other symptoms except for body pain.  What test I should take now (STD / HIV / etc) ?

Thanks for your time.

I am sorry.  My questions were genuine and I do not want to post excessively. Once again sorry for posting my doubts eventhough you replied that there was no risk.

Thank you Teak.  I was worried because of the following reasons.

1)  I had bleeding gums during that time.
2)  I was not sure about the status of men and women as I met them through online site.
3)  The women were working women and most of them see multiple clients daily.  One of the women told me that she is coming from another room attending another client.  I was not sure whether she cleaned herself before coming to my room. I used condom but oral (mutual) was without condoms.
4) I got the pink swollen mark and it was there for more than two months.  I read about this in this site that it is usually found in gay men with AIDS.
5)  The pimples appearing on my face (sometimes cluster) is also making me worried.

That is why I asked whether I need an STD or HIV test.  Your reply will give me confidence and guidance.

Thank you.
