Swollen Lymph Node in Armpit with Pus

Dear Doctors,

I am in extremely worried situation, the reason why I ask this question to a doctor but not other experts since they threaten to delete your profile if you ask the detailed answer. I had protected sex with a prostitute, 35 days ago, two times (both with condom), and 1 time 18 days ago (same person). None of the condoms were broken. The prostitute was active drug user since she told it herself. During the sex no oral (mouth to penis, mouth to vagina) was performed. However, I sucked her nipples for about 25 seconds. 24 days later of the first exposure a swollen lymph node appeared under my right armpit which was red color on the center. When I pushed it a pus came out. First it was about 1 cm wide but now it is about 0.5 cm wide with no pus inside. It has been more than 10 days and there is a bean like swollen node under my armpit which is persistent to go away. I have never had any swollen lymph node in any place on my body. This is the first time. I have no other symptoms of HIV, I believe.

1) Do you think I was exposed to risk somehow?

2) Do I need to get tested for HIV?

3) What could be the reason of this swollen lymph node?

4) What is the earliest date that I need to get tested?

hi,

see,condom protected sex virtually carries zero risk.
Hiv related lymph nodes do not carry pus.
Remember another good point,if lymph nodes swell due to HIV then, there will be multiple swollen lymph nodes across the body.....

1) You were virtually at zero risk. No need to worry
2) Medically no need to test. But yes you should get tested to pacify your mind.
   Go ahead and do the test.No problem with it
3) Reasons can be many. Consult with a physician.
4) 6 week would be a great time to get hiv tested....

I hope, my comments were helpful for you...
All the best

You didn't have an risk of contracting HIV and you don't need an HIV test to increase your anxiety.
