hi guys, heres my problem. 9 weeks ago i had protected sex with a sex worker. I also preformed cunninglus on her. I know must people say zero risk but i think im loosing my mind. 3 weeks after the exposure i developed a sore throat that is still slightly sore. The last few days i feel my legs and arms are spasming a lot but ialso keep finding lymph nodes all over my body. Ive been testd but wont know result till next week .. Not sure i can hold it together.

it is very hard to feel your abdominal lymph nodes, you would likely have to have advanced lymphoma and even then its rare to feel them. the most common places where you can feel your nodes are in the arm pits, neck,and groin.

If you think that this swelling is a lymph node relax, HIV related swelling of lymph nodes is usually in more than one place. as said before, you had no risk. your "symptoms" are from anxiety, it can do crazy things with the body. so just relax, or you will die from a heart attack before taking the test, a test that u dont even need to take... only for reassurance maybe.

of course you're finding them all over your body...we have them all over our bodies ! !  keep prodding at them...you'll finally get them to swell.

you DONT have swollen lymph nodes due to infection...YOU HAD NO RISK
