Do I have a Possible hiv rash on my shoulder?

I had given unprotected sex to a transgender, nothing more nothing less there was precum and little to no cum ejaculated in my mouth, that was about 5 weeks ago, two days ago  on my right shoulder I had about two to 3 red spots show one about the size of a quarter another the size of a dime and then smaller ones but nomore than about 8-10 altogether none were raised, none were itchy or flaky all flat, I have read oral risk is low but I do havs  inflamed gums, at the time I had brushed my teeth HOUR prior so I’m not sure if my gum inflammation still matters if it bleeds when brushing am I over exaggerating? The red spots have faded about 70/80% as of today

As mentioned on the other thread that you commented on, you had zero risk and can't interchange that word no with low as if they were the same. Your incorrect fears that you have HIV combined with some red spots do not create hiv risk.

The other thread was the opposite of the poster being the receiver with mine being the giver which apparently is the low risk and not the impossible end I’m no subject matter expert which is why I asked what were the odds from you guys
You had no risk and any HIV test will be a waste of time. I'm not sure why you came to this forum asking for advice because you incorrectly told Curfew that her advice is wrong, so your mind was made up before you came here. Constant Googling for death because you are anxious and have nagging doubts about the science will always locate someone who tells you there are risks that you will die from whatever you are afraid of - then you get more anxious from your Googling.

Here is the reality which everyone here accepts so no one is going to accept your claim that you just made.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
