Right now all my symptoms are gone, except for a slight discomfort in my throat.There is no swelling or pain.But at times i experience slight pulse or wave like pain,from my neck an then makes its way through the ear and head.should i consider this as swollen lymph gland.Which is one of symptoms of HIV

See your doctor for your concerns. They have nothing to do with HIV.

No,swollen lymph nodes would not necesary be of a certain size. The type, combination, severity and duration of ARS symptoms, if present, are highly variable patient to patient. In some the lymphadenopathy is painful or uncomfortable, others not.
The OP had no risk though.

No risk, you had protected sex, and if the condom didnt broke there is no risk, the rubbing and the hj arent risk, so NOT RISK AT ALL, just move on and forget about this.

Your symptoms are related to a cold, flu, ear infection, ect. it doesnt matter what symptoms you have most of 5 year old kids have the same symptoms probably 3 times a year, and they are not infected with hiv, what matter is in what risky activitie you involved,

jimmy, i am no doc like a lot of others here in the forum, but have been in your position and I am telling you these are not symtoms from an infection, but more from anxiety and over monitoring of the body. I had done the exact same thing and I suggest you to get yourselves busy with something else.

You never had a risk of contracting HIV and you don't contract HIV from a hand job.
