6 months ago, unprotected encounter

by nick678, Dec 12, 2007 02:55PM
Dear Doctor,
  I had a sexual encounter with a girl from college in riverside, CA 6 months ago, which was unprotected. I don't know what I was thinking. I started to develop swollen lymph nodes in my neck a week after the encounter a week after june 28th. She said she didnt have anything. I asked her many times and she said she was negative for everything. I tested at the 7th week and 12th week mark for hiv, and it was negative. Also tested for mono was negative. I developed more swollen lymph nodes such as under my armpit, under my chin. believed has some in groin, and also a month ago i had a swollen lymph node under both my legs behind my knees. Also i feel pain under my elbows, and believe they are geting swollen now too. The ones in my neck, under my chin, and one in my armpit are going away. I get this burning sensation throughtout my body, and have many joint aches. It seems like when my swollen lymph nodes are going away, other parts start geting infected. Is this Hiv or can it be some fungal infection? I had that unprotected encounter on june 28th and its going to be 6 months tomorrow on dec 13th. I really regret doing that because I had a lot to drink. Am I free of Hiv? or do I have to keep testing, because I have swollen lymph nodes in multiple areas. But I tested negative at 7 weeks, and 3 months. So I do not what keeps causing this. My doctor was saying it can be some kind of garden respiratiory virus. I was wondering if you can help me and suggest what to do. I am eating fine, havn't vomited, or lost weight, and have no diarrhea. can this ebv? Thank you doctor.

You don't need to retest. You have your conclusive negative result.

By the way this is not the doctor's forum. There is no doctor's here.

A negative at 3 months is conclusive - you shouldn't  be worrying about it. You don't need to keep testing - your result won't change. Don't go by your symptoms but by your test results.
