Insertive oral sex, syphilis and HIV

HELLO, I posted here before but wanted to ask another question, what are my chances of getting HIV if I have syphilis? The only exposure I made was insertive oral sex from a man, there are a lot of pimple look alike appearing in my body from my back and my chest, and it was cured by doxycycline,  but 3 months later it now starting to appear in my legs, w/c made my anxiety came back, I am not really sure if it is syphilis and it kinda resemble as syphilis, it doesn't itch but with look like a pus in the center.. I might afraid that if I have syphilis I also have HIV.. I never had sex. Only insertive oral sex

For oral, No.
The risk is only when you have unprotected penetration.

Oral sex carries no risk for HIV. Syphillis or no syphilis.
