I dont know what to say....

I can feel a lymph node at the bottom of my neck which is freaking me out.  I had unprotected sex with a female months ago.  She was a friend of mine (19 years old, I'm 21) and she said she had unprotected sex with 4 other people.  I have been tested:
week 7 - neg
week 11 - neg
week 15 - neg
week 18 - neg
week 20 - neg
week 23 - neg
You would think I would move on right....wrong!!!  This lymph node is freaking me out.  My doc can feel it as well...is it normal to feel your lymph nodes???  

ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT...CDC SAYS PEOPLE TEST POS 6 MONTHS AND LATER...ITS FREAKING ME OUT!!! WHAT IF IM ONE OF THEM!!!

A) the chances of you having HIV in the first place were very low B)Your first test was conclusive. You had 5 tests you didn't need to have. C)Symptoms are meaningless. D) Even if you had symptoms, ARS includes a fever. Swollen lymph nodes could be a million things including your probable over-feeling of them. You don't have HIV. Stop testing yourself and see someone for youe anxiety.

i think anyone can feel lymph nodes, right now i can feel my lymph nodes below my jaw & chin, is your lymph nodes swollen? swollen lymph nodes hurts when you feel them and swollen lymph nodes is a sign of infection, does it hurt when you touch them? is it confirmed by a doctor that your lymph nodes are swollen?

Had you asked your doctor about HIV, and then told him about your testing history, he would have told you the same thing that I am about to tell you: you do not have HIV. OK, your doctor can feel your lymph node, but or she can do that even if they are not swollen, so I am a bit confused by that statement.

The simple truth here is that, in terms of HIV, you have nothing to worry about. You do not, cannot have HIV. You have overtested, and you have test out well past the window period. Each and every test has been negative. You have conclusive and definitive proof that you do not have HIV. You do not have it, you cannot have it.

It is good that you are seeing a doctor if you are worried about something going on in your body. I am sure said doctor said something to you in regards to what he or she thinks the problem might be. What was it that the doctor said?

Bottom line: whatever is bothering you physically, it is not HIV. That has been proven, many times over, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
