idk maybe in crazy maybe it's justified I am at 6 months to the day since my sexual encounter

I had protected sex and I THINK the condom didn't break didn't examine was in the moment I guess
well I took a pcr at 26 days and an antibody at 11 weeks and a day both came back negative

I was relieved but have had on and off armpit pain for 4 months and have had a swollen lymph node behind my right ear for 4 months as well
I had a swollen lymph node that showed up last week in my armpit the doctor then gave me cefedoxil and the armpit lump went away in 2 days so thata good

my real question is can symptoms show up 5-6 months later and can symptoms last for months like my armpit pain has

[NickOne7]

yes that I agree with, but the % of people on this form do not have this issue. Also some experts say a 6 - 8 week test is good enough. Cut and dry a healthy person takes a risk they can be 100% sure they did not get infected at 3 months.  Thats all

[NickOne7]

This HIV Community is a place to discuss HIV Prevention based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors

The doctors state 3 months conclusive

[NickOne7]

Symptoms do not mean anything, they do not come on this late and do not last months (regarding new infections ARS) also to make it clear a 3 month test for HIV is 100%

The white spots on your tonsils are "Tonsil Stones" this is bacteria that collects in the pockets of your tonsils. this is not a HIV

Seek professional mental help to deal with your anxieties, you did not have a risk of contracting HIV.

kumar

my only real question is lymph nodes and such symptoms can they occur at 6 months post sexual event

[kumar007]

nope..ars symptoms usually appears 2-4 weeks post exposure and last about 1-2 weeks..
6 months its way too late..
dont worry..
it has NOTHING to do with hiv

[billyboy911]

I just woke up with this red bump near my groin I had a painful lymph node in my armpit a week ago but is gone now ... so this would not happen 6 months later?

[kumar007]

nope..you are allright..if the condom broke you would have known for sure..it didnt and you are allright..your 11 week negative proves that...
you need to move on..

[billyboy911]

is it anyway possible for swollen lymph nodes to occur 6 months later

[anxiety66]

Hiv has nothing to do with the symptoms you are currently experiencing...test results always win you are hiv negative i suggest working with your physician to determine the cause of your current symptoms...try to relax maybe its stress.

[canermy]

HIV is not your concern.

[billyboy911]

anyone please
