HIV worries

Hi,

Im Rajeev, 23 years old. I've been having swollen lymph nodes around groin areas and in both armpits.. They can be felt by touching.This appaered around 8 years back and are still there. My doubt is that of late i read in net that it can be an initial symptom of HIV infection. As a kid i was forced to go through unwanted sexual activity with another guy of my same age (ie. arousal of each others genitalia , thats all). So is there any chance that i could have got infected? Please provide me with suggestions.

Regards,
Rajeev

It's not possible that you have contracted the HIV from the event you describe. The symptoms you descrive are not specific to the HIV infection either. If you have not had any unprotected sex, blood transfusion or needle sharing there is not reason for you to belive you have HIV.
