okay so about 3 months ago i had protected sex with a guy. but i was drunk and he said he just touched my vagina with his **** but didnt go and and he was completely dry. I also engaged in oral sex with him. he has gotten tested for stds and contracted chlam. a while a go which he got cured for. he said hes never gottent tested for hiv though. im soooo worried. i have a big swollen lymph node under my jaw and it hurts a little bit. I also have one behind my left ear but that one does not hurt. IM SOOO WORRIED. im getting tested tomorrow but still. I dont know if theyre just swollen because im mild bulimic. PLEASE HELP ME.

With the "2 strokes in you" the story has been changed now.... :)
Anyhow, testing at 8 weeks is unlikely to change. But if there was penetration, you should obtain conclusive result at 3 months.

even if he went in for like 2 strokes in me without a condom? but then his d went down.

1) yes, effective
2) you don't need to test, because you had no risk. And your test result clearly shows that.

Okay so I got tested with a rapid hiv test today and it came back negative. I made the calculations and its been 8 weeks to possible exposure. My questions are these;

1) Is the rapid hiv test effective? I got results in 20 min.  

2) Since it was neg. After 8 weeks do I need to retest again in a few weeks?

Thank you so much for your patience.

I think you should have known if there was penetration. Normally deep penetration is needed for transmission.

[minny714]

are you sure? im sooo worried. even if he was hiv pos. are my chances really slow of contracting it since he did rub against my v maybe possibly went in a little bit?

[Someguy70]

Your described activities carry no risk for HIV. And the one swollen lymph node is not a symptom of hiv. If lymph nodes swell due to hiv or other viral infection, they should swell more than one. If it's just one, it can be due to some bacterial infection. And the location indicates the area of possible source of infection.
