Very Worried
Hi Dr.
I am 27 year old healthy male who is having the worst nightmare of his life. I am trying no to be paranoiid but symptoms are overwelming,
7.5 weeks ago I had Protected sex with a white female who lives in Vegas. We did prolonged open mouth kissing in the club and then in the hotel. She performed oral on me for 5 min I didnt ejaculate. The next day i found a CUT on my lip.
5 weeks later, I fell flu like symptoms fever, runny nose, cough. I went online on the second day to find out about HIV symptoms. since then I have been on a emotional and physical roller coaster that is still going on.
The cold went away after 4 days. On day 5 - week 5.5 since exposure- I developed a rash that spread to my legs back chest. My skin broke out few pimples.
I got tested on week 5 negative - three days after my symptoms started- and negative again at 6.5 weeks or 45 days since exposure.
I tried to feel better but on week 7 I started felling pressure in my left groin that spread to my right side, to my leg and genitals later in my left armpit which swell after some poking. Now I feel pressure in my neck, my armpit and groin. My ears still plugged since 3 weeks.
I admit I have been under a great deal of stress and anxiety non stop since week 5. I feel bettter by another symptom pops up to make me feel miserable again.
can nodes swell two weeks after I had fever and on week 7 after exposure?
What you think my exposure risk is with the cut on the lip and prolonged kissing especially ?
Please let me know what you really think and what should I expect
Thank you for your work and I appologize for the long message.

There are no Doctors here.
You don't need one (well not for anything physical) and you didn't need the tests.
