Hello Dr,
I am a 33 year old otherwise healthy male
In early december I had an encounter with a girl, I performed unprotected cunnilingus on her and protected vaginal sex. After the encounter I noticed she had bumps near the front of her arm pits with surgical marks. I did not think much of it at the time. Now I am very concerned. This was my only risky experience
About 2 weeks later I felt nausious, a few nights of night sweats, stiff neck, photophobia,diarrhea for a few days, headache for a few days, and a shooting pain mostly in my armpits but also in my groin.
Since then I have found a swollen gland in my neck I believe is my thyroid it feels squishy and large and both arm pit nodes feel like grapes (almost 4 months later)
I do believe I am urinating quite often now, my eyes are always red and my knees, ankles, wrists, sometimes fingers are hurting.
I also have pain in my fingernail beds near the tip as if I have cut my nails too short.
My knee caps feel different to the touch like there is a hard buildup on them.
I also experience some abdominal pain frequently
I have not gone to a doctor yet due to fear. I have convinced myself I have HIV and if I test and its positive I have no hope. I am a single father and I have a great career I feel my life is in shambles now.
I am need of some reassurance... Thanks
