If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
I tested after five days for everything, hep block , hiv, herpes, everything bacterial, and its all negative (figured i would establish a baseline for future testing). I have seen my doctor about my groin and repeatedly he has told me that it is not swollen and that you can feel your lymph nodes in your groin especially if your a thin person. I constantly touch it and feel it during the day out of anxiety and worry and I think that could be making it worse and more tender. I guess my question is that im worried about contracting herpes 2 from this woman, and if she was HIV + then im worried that I might have a case of asymptomatc herpes 2 that is enlarging my right groin lymph node, (no blisters, sores, or fever, after five weeks) that could have transmitted HIV to me. Im not sure bout the depression and anxiety is making me tired and weak, and depressed and just getting through the days is becoming quite the task.
What can anyone make out of this situation? I know that Teak is well respected on this forum and has much knowledge to give in regards to everyones potential exposures. If there is anyone that can offer me some insight i would greatly appreciate it as I am feeling more and more alone and aloof as the doctors keep telling me that I dont have an enlarged lymph node and that I need to stop worrying about HIV transmission. I suppose I just wanted to gather some more information. Any help would be great, thank you.
