This is really stressing me out and I wish it could all be over. Tomorrow will be 13 weeks. I'm tired of all this. And today I felt even worse. It now hurts slightly to swallow and my neck has been hurting a lot. My tonsils also swollen now and my throat hurts more. Help me out here!!!

It amazes me the things you guys link to possible HIV.  Sore throat and swollen glands?  Go to your regular doctor, and let him or her decide what you have instead of doing your own research (and I use the term loosely).  If I had a sore throat and swollen glands, I'd think of mono, I'd think of tonsillitis, strep throat.  These things are all common.  HIV is not.  And especially not the way you seem to think you might have gotten it.  It's totally ridiculous.

Go to your doctor and find out why you have your sore throat.
