Multiple possible exposure
I have had unprotected sex with my girlfriend upwards of 12 times starting in Early December. Unsure of her HIV status. About 2 weeks ago I noticed swollen lymph nodes in my groin region. My lymph nodes are not really swollen anywhere else, maybe a little. I have had no other symptoms, no fever, haven't been sick. Thanks for your help.
When HIV infected, are the swollen lymph nodes cause the initial flu like symptoms or HIV cells rapid growth?
you had unprotected sex...you need to test.
a test done at 6-8 weeks after your LAST unprotected intercourse, will give you a good indication of your status...but follow that up at 3 months for a conclusive result.
most ppl who post here with self diagnosed swollen lymph nodes...dont actually have them when they are finally seen by a doctor.
