Aa
am i at risk of HIV!!
Dear DOCTOR,
I am having a armpit swelling for last 45 days and i am very scared about it.
It is very soft in nature (tender) and not very painfil, only if i press it inside to check what is swollen, there is a point there that pains.
Actually, I had a NON SEXUAL CONTACT with a russian girl recently. we hugged each others naked and then rubbed each others bodies against each other, etc. i also smooched her couple of times for few seconds. But i am sure we had a protected sex after that. But, immediately after that i got this ARMPIT swelling and i am quite worried about it..i have no other symptoms as such. and even i had a test done for HIV elisa test, which came non-reactive. it was done on 37th day(5 weeks and 2 days )
so, how accurate that result can be? should i retest and
SKIN INFECTION related swelling can remain for such a long-time(there is a possibility there that it may have happened at the time of underarm shaving, cause of hair region getting hurt)
could it be some other STD?
PLEASE, PLEASE guide me.
please answer me asap
