AM I infected?

This week my health is okay accept for CHEST CONGESTION (HIV symptom????). Whenever i take a deep deep deep breath, I COUGH. when i breath deeper i can feel my lungs feels kinda full...or congested. i also have very stiff neck.

On the back of my head (within my hair ara), there are 4 sorta like pimples (could be something else) growing...it is painful when i touch them.

First of all....a person cannot tell by feeling if they have an enlarged lymph nodes.  That takes a medical professional with years of experience to do so.  Lymph nodes ARE normally palpable anyway, in their normal state.

And, NO, swollen lymph nodes associated with new HIV infection are NOT painful...nor do they typically occur in just one area,

This will be your last reply...it is time to move on.

I am so sorry to trouble. my last question is, if a person has contracted hiv, how enlarged would a lymp node grow? is it painful?

i ve read so many articles in the internet but they just got me really worked-up and i need the correct information from person like you who had many many many years of experience in this area.

Your final comment in regards to this really means alot to me.

thank you

lymph node: located behind the chin and before the neck area
(there's two of them next to each other). one is smaller than the other. Whenever i touch or apply pressure on the slightly enlarged lympnode, i feel pain. where as the other one doesnt feel any pain.

(1) i feel it is growing a little bigger from what i last remember.

(2) when i tilt my head up, i can feel the pressure of my lymph node

(3) when my head is horizontal (eg: looking at the computer), there's no pain

(4) when i touch the lymph node and applied some pressure on it, i can feel the pain and pressure (sorta feels like prss

is this possible hiv infection?
