There are some small wounds on my foreskin, if my foreskin touched his anus tightly, and the wounds touched his fluid or boold, is there a risk for hiv?
And, what is ARS mean? When would ARS appear? And what is accurate time?  Would it appear sore throat only?  And there is a dot on my neck,  is it lymphadenitis?
I am confused, want your reply!
Thankyou!

You had zero risk so don't need to test since there was no penetration.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching.  So it doesn't matter if he rubbed because it was in the air, even if both of you were bleeding at the time since it is effectively dead.

Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with.
Even with blood, lactation cuts, rashes, burns etc air does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make it a risk.

ARS are symptoms that doctors study when a patient has HIV, but you don't have HIV. Doctors don't study symptoms to diagnose, so you shouldn't study symptoms either. This is not a diagnostic forum so you have to see your doctor about your spots.
