lymph nodes
Had a possible exposure 8 days ago. 2 or 3 days after possible exposure I'm am feeling pressure back of neck like my lymph nodes are swollen and still feel like they are swollen. I don't know my touch, just feel. So are started checking my lymph nodes under my armpit and the middle of my arm. Can't tell if they are swoolen but feel pulsating both under my armpits and the middle of my arm. Is that normal? I do not have any other symptoms such as a fever, at least I don't feel like I have a fever. No sore throat, no rash or any other symptom of ARS. Could I possibly be having early signs of Primary HIV infection? Help, really stressed out. Thanks.
Everyone gets swollen lymph nodes from time to time when they get a cold,flu or just not feeling well.If its worrying you see your doctor.You can,t related this to the incident you had because there simply was no risk.I am not aware that lymph nodes pulsate.
I hope you're 100 percent correct. Do lymph nodes pulsate? Just making sure, from what I've gather on different health sites having swollen lymph nodes on the back of neck for extended period of time is a serious condition that should be checked by a physician, especially since my other areas where lymph nodes are or seem irritated. Thanks, won't post again about this topic, but you can see why I might be concerned.
There are no pre-symptoms to ARS.If you are experiencing ars symptoms which clearly you are not they come 2 to 4 weeks after infection,and last from 4 days to 2 weeks.They don,t come and go and they are very sore throat,very high fever and rash on trunk-torso and limbs.You are not having these symptoms because you never had a risk.
It is also possible the condom fell off during penetration leaving me exposed. I wouldn't think much of it if I wasn't experience discomfort in those regions where lymph nodes are, especially behind the neck. I'm just saying maybe the lymph nodes are swollen because of the hiv virus and it might be a pre-symptom to ARS. Do lymph nodes pulsate? I'm just making sure of my situation. Thanks.
I read your previous post and you never had a risk,and your lymph nodes question has already been answered.
If u check my previous post it is explained in detail. Basically I was receptive anal with unknown status transsexual. Condom on prior to insertion after about 30 seconds to one minute I pulled away and the condom was stuck in my rectum. Hoping the condom did the job.
