It depends on the acid. Many acids do, such as acetic acid (CH3CO2H), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and hypochlorous acid(HClO).

But a number of other acids do not contain oxygen, such as hydrocyanic acid (HCN), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), and fluoroboric acid (HBF4)

Acids do not, as a rule, contain oxygen. Acids contain a base and hydrogen, which dissociate to lower the pH of a solution.

Oxygen doesn't necessarily decide on whether something is acidic, and it actually tends to be basic

If there is Hydrogen, it's acidic

If there is OH, it's basic

Some will some won't. Oxyacids and haloacids generally do not react with oxygen, but organic acids can. Pure acetic acid, for example, is flammable.
