Worried of HIV

[kumar567]

Hi All,

I had visited massage parlor twice 6-8 weeks back. I just had regular massage and at the end received only HAND JOB.(no sex). After 7 weeks from the incident i had the following HIV symptoms?
1. Low grade Fever for 3 days (101 F)
2. Head ache
3. Severe Sore Throat for 3 days
4. Night Sweat on 1 day
5. Swollen Lymph node on my neck(i see small bump on one side. its still there)

As the above symptoms are related to HIV, I am worried a lot. Do i need to go for HIV test.

Note: I do not recall any other risky behaviour in the past 9 months.

Please advice

Thanks
Kumar

move on

But is it possible for swollen lymph node(small bump) not cured even after 4 weeks? I remember someone saying that the bump stays there if we have hiv infection.

move on...you did not get hiv from a handjob

I am really scared now.
My Swollen Lymph node on my neck(small bump on one side) did not go away even after 4 weeks. Is it ARS symptom?

You are not having HIV symptoms. HIV has NO specific symptoms and you were never at risk of contracting HIV.

[kumar567]

I agree. But I am not sure why I got so many HIV symptoms at one time. I did all STDs testing including HIV in April 2008 and it came clean.

I am not able to stop worrying. Please advice

Thanks
