Is this a HIV risk?
by WorryingGirl, Jun 21, 2007 12:00AM
I had a bleeding nose. The blood was not coming outside, instead I got hardened inside. So I was very uncomfortable and was touching inside of my nose. Once I went to the wash room at my working place, I suddenly saw something reddish has hardened on my finger nail. I’m not sure whether it was blood cause it was a little bit hard to remove.
If it was someone else’s blood what is the risk of getting HIV?
In the fourth week I had swollen submendibular glands (I don’t know whether it is the correct name. The ones which are under the jaw). But it was not painful. I realized so cause I knew those were swollen only by touching. Didn’t have any difficulty in swallowing.

The submandibular gland you are talking about are exactly that.....submandibular parotid glands... they are not lymph nodes (nodes are not glands). Submandibular lymph nodes are adjacent to the parotid glands. you can feel the glands all the time with a little agitation under the jaw. but your lymph nodes, when they swell, can be easily felt next to these elliptical balls that you are feling right now (parotid glands)
don't play with them too much or they will swell a lot and you will be convinced you have HIV.
