Scared to death lymph nodes swollen

Scared to death lymph nodes swollen

Man i am scared so much right now fellas. I have two swollen lymph nodes in my neck which appear approx 2/3 weeks after i slept with a prostitute (protected). I had a brief sore throat for a few days and fever one day. However its been nearly 2 weeks since the nodes first appeared and they are still there although  no other symptoms. Suppose the nodes do not dissappear and remain there lets say a month from now or more is that a indication perhaps that i may have been infected with HIV?

This is not an HIV concern.

Dear Mr. Teak I felt no worries about HIV or other stds because I used a condom but once I began reading up on this stuff on the internet my worries exploded. I read that if my lymph nodes persist for a long period of time it might indicate that my body is fighting an infection. Thus, would it not be correlated to me possibly having put myself at risk by sleeping with a prostitute? My main question is suppose my lymph nodes persist for a long period of time should I consider getting tested for HIV even though I have always had protected sex and many people say that I am not at risk as long as I use a condom. Would the  lymphadenopathy indicate HIV?

If you have a concern about your lymph nodes see your doctor. They have nothing to do with HIV.
