Extremestress,meworried,Teak,peeakawho & other this is my last post.. Judgement day feeling tensed please help me for the last and final time..

Well as all of u r aware abt my situation to brief the stripper had rubbed my unprotected penis on her vagina and i noticed vaginal fluid on my penis head without penetration...I got tested 8 weeks after exposure and got her tested as well 9 weeks after exposure..i think she is in her window period..

NOW THE FINAL QUESTION -

Yesterday 11 weeks and 5 days after the exposure i had sore throat and consulted a doc he said i have throat infection and also have 2 lymph nodes around my neck..which freaked me out..Since 2-3 days i m feeling very tired(fatigue)..I m also experiencing night sweats since 8 days now...

I know u all suggested i was never at risk as i didnt penetrate her...And suggested no futher testing is required..However i really dont wanna act insane but i try to convince myself but these small symptoms paticularly lymph node is freaking me out...

Could this be Ars?? never had lymph node in my entire life...I would still like to get tested again just to ease my mind..I am gonna complete 12 weeks tomorrow...Can i go and test tomorrow or do i have to wait for 13 weeks for conclusive result??? i need to get peace and start concentrating on other things..plz dont ignore me...help me last time...

Regards,
Bm

You don't even need to test again.  Your fine.  Any sore throat is going to swell your lymph nodes.  Are you armpits and groin luymphnodes swollen as well?  If not, then not ARS from my understanding.  Get the 12 week for you anxiety but it will be negative.

No my armpits and grion seems to be fine...Only Concern is Lymph node around my neck...it not that thick and is not visible..its only when u press it u come to knw its swollen....I just consulted normal doc..he could be wrong regarding lymph node...So is lymph node visible around the neck or u can only feel it by pressing?? and please answer my question posted earlier as well.....

12 week will be just as conclusive as 13 weeks. Hell! your 8 week is just as conclusive as 13 week. You could write a big negative sign on a piece of paper and **** on it, and the negative shown will be just as conclusive as a 13 week. catch the drift!

The reason only the lymph nodes around your neck are swollen is because those are the ones that drain your throat, which you said was infected.  When you have a common bacterial infection, only the lymph nodes draining the infected site swell.  When you have HIV related lymph node swelling, it is called generalized lymphadenopathy because all or almost all of the lymph nodes in the body swell, and they swell up to be very large.  Sometimes they are actually visible without even touching.   You can rely on your test, congratulations, you don't have HIV.
