I worked in Dubai and aware of your culture. Why would they deliberately infect you? They would not. Dubai is a God conscious country.  I think what has happened is that you were caught off guard about the club and think they are bad people. These people are ordinary working people trying to get by. They are not evil people and the massuse was trying to make it a pleasent experience so you would come back again. These people are the same as everyone else. I think your judging them so just relax and put this behind you. No way you were infected

Any infection in the ENT region can cause swollen nodes. So can a cold, sore throat, etc.

If you are even remotely HIV positive (which I doubt), six weeks is too soon to even know. HIV infection can sometimes take years to develop.

Chances are you picked something else up while you were there.

If anything, there are HIV tests available at most pharmacies and results are anonymous. Pick one up and test yourself. Or, go to your doctor and get a blood test.

Maybe they were closed when you called or no girls came into work that day. Try to remember this as a good time and the nice girl who made you comfortable. Nice pleasant experiences are very hard to come by these days.

If you are that worried go have a hiv test. I sense extreme guilt here. Do you feel really quilty about going to the club? Im not a doctor but your symtoms could come from many things. The swollen nodes maybe from your constant feeling them, the dirrareah from some bad water or food and you may just have a common cold as it is the flu season. Dont diagnose yourself or youll make yourself checking your body nonstop.
When a man goes to a club like you did, and leaves, they generally feel nice and relaxed. How did you feel a few hours after you left the club? Was money an issue?
