lol, sorry, I meant unprotected sex.. :)
You were here in January and was asking questions and you turned around and put yourself at risk?
As far as I remember, the January one was just oral intercourse. But unfortunately yes, although not on purpose.

You made the decision to have unprotected sex so don't say it wasn't on purpose. You knew how HIV was transmitted before you did it.
No, actually, if you really must know the details, it started as regular making out, petting and rubbing, with no intention to go "all the way" whatsoever, but as the guy was more rough he did not want to stop and penetrated me a bit and ejaculated near my anus, or even a bit inside. As I do have some problems with internal hemorrhoids from time to time, I do perceive the whole situation as "risky".
So, I would really appreciate if you could please answer my primary question Ive posted an hour ago.
Symptoms mean nothing...you can NEVER use them to gauge your HIV status. You wouldn't have just ONE swollen lymph node if it was related to HIV, and it wouldn't be painful.
IF there was penetration, then you had a risk and you know the drill. You've been here enough to know about testing and to know symptoms are useless in determining HIV status, only an HIV test will do that.
Of course, I do get tested regularly, and I will get tested after the window period. And I know it is not a mean to determine my HIV status just by looking at the symptoms, but I will feel more calm until I get tested knowing that this painful lymph node may not have direct links with HIV.
Thank you very much for a concrete answer.
