I'm having too many symptoms for it not to be HIV

My neck is stiff. I have a swollen node on the right side of my neck that hasn't went down. I'm noticing my back is a lil sore. Bumps on the back of my tongue. Looked like enlarged tastebuds, but hasn't went down. Discoloration on my face. All this, and I've never had unprotected sex. I think I either some how infected myself while taking the condom off or had a small cut somewhere. Either way, these are too many symptoms to ignore. It was a one night thing at a party, and I don't even know the girl. I think I'm screwed. The back of my neck feels sore as well. And one night my legs were tingling for so long. And I've also developed some kind of chest problem. Sometimes its like my heart is beating too fast or not fast enough. I can't take this. Every day I'm depressed out of my mind over this.

sounds like you're freaking out like i was until earlier today haha...my neck was incredibly stiff, swollen lymph node on my neck, sore throat etc...I went and played some bball and took my mind off of it and now my neck is perfectly fine. It's all in your head man, and the stiff neck is definitely due to sitting at the computer with your head craned and looking at stupid HIV ****.  Don't worry, you used protection and heterosexual transmission is low anyway, relax
