south africa hiv
hi i am from south africa...which has the highest rate of hiv and aids in the world.
On the 20 december i had protected sex with a prostitute and i performed unprotected oral sex on her for less than a minute...she was a commercial sex worker.
it's now almost 3 weeks after this incident...and i notice that i have a swollen lymph node on the upper part behind my neck and 1 on the left side of my neck.
here in south africa they say oral sex is a high risk activity...so does this swollen lymph nodes mean i have hiv? is oral sex really such a big risk? or could this swollen lymph nodes signify an std?
this was my first sexual encounter ever

Same as if you were with a non CSW. CSW are more apt to take care of themselves due to their profession.
but are there any risks of contracting an STD? and what is causing these 2 lymph nodes to be swollen?
Thanx so much teak i admire you alot for always answering questions and trying to help
