Swollen

Swollen

I understand that unprotected oral sex is a very low risk (1/10,000). I had unprotected oral sex four months ago.

My glands have been swollen for the past five weeks. I can see and feel bean sized/shaped lumps on the sides of my neck and under my jaws.

What is going on guys? Maybe I am infected with HIV...

if concerned with hiv go get tested (your test will be conclusive since your exposure was more than 3 months ago).  you will undoubtedly test negative for this exposure.

good luck (even though you don't need it).

You never had a risk from oral sex and do not need testing.
