Worried about hiv

by worried_about_hiv, Jul 12, 2008 05:14PM
I had an un protected sex 6 weeks ago, and i can feel a small lymphnode on the back of the neck (size of a lemon seed) for the past one week.  I never noticed it bedofe, but i can feel it now.
It is not swallen or tender.  And also, I don't have any lymph nodes that I can feel with my hand.

My question is... if the swallen lymph node i am able to feel is the symptom of hiv, i should be able to feel in some more places also by this time right?  What i mean is... i should be able to feel it under the arm pits and groin area also.  Because, i have this for a week.

If i have a swallen lymph node as a symptom of HIV, i should have it more places within a week span correct?.

Please advise me, i am very worried.

Thanks in advance

First off don't self-diagnose yourself. If you have a concern that you may have swollen lymph nodes then have them diagnosed by a doctor.
