NO. You don't have an HIV concern and a swollen lymph with you would have nothing to do with HIV.

What part of, "you had no risk" is it you can't seem to comprehend? Take the time to read the posting guidelines at the top of the page.

Doesn't concern you since you've never had a risk. If you have swollen lymph nodes see a doctor and have them diagnose you and see what's the cause .

You don't' have to investigate the condom. Had the condom failed you would have known without a doubt.

teak I know that but I didn't investigate the condom...it was kind of s blurr to me and these lymph nodes are freaking mr out ... can a lymph node involving a HIV first show up at 5 months go away in 5 days then show up 4 months later?
