The swollen gland is unlikely to be related to HIV since symptoms don't show as fast. Still if you had unprotected sex there could be a risk. Any judging the risk would depend on what type of sex you had, not symptoms.

The chances you caught hiv from one encounter is slim. That being said it is still a possibility. Who is this girl? Is she a pro? a friend ? A unknown one night stand?. Please elaborate.

one swollen gland the day after sex is NOT indicative of infection.

if someone experiences symptoms of ars...it comes at 2-4 WEEKS post infection and lasts for 1-2 WEEKS.

swollen lymph nodes from ars are generalized...not localized.

with that being said...the ONLY way to know one's status is by testing.
