hi all experts
i am in tears while writing this question
9 1/2 weeks ago i had exposure with a prostitute
so much stressed
1)every day i wakw up, i feel something swollen around my ear like in the cheek near ear, under me ear
i dont know whether it is swollen lymph node
but definitely it is swollen
2)i had skin rashes after 4 weeks of exposure
it makes me to think about hiv all the day
i am behaving like walkingdead ....i have a constant fear of hiv ...i try to not think about it but dont know why this all happen....

read what DR HANDSFIELD told a poster about a loose condom:

"And all that assumes no condom use -- but you DID use a condom. The details about looseness etc make no difference.  You had protected sex."

your swollen cheeks have nothing to do with hiv...you had NO risk

[scared_me]

sir
i am very afraid to take test
there is a swollen lymph node under my left ear that tells me that i have hiv
i am going mad
why i am so afraid to take tests?
i am feeling fear of bad news

[scared_me]

teak sir...

i am constantly feeling swollen glands on face

do hiv symptoms occur one by one or all at a time?
and do swollen lymph nodes occur at 9th week?

[RainLover71]

No it's not a symptom of HIV

[scared_me]

the swollen cheeks are bothering me alot
the part of cheek near ear
is it symptom of hiv?

[RainLover71]

you had no risk but if it's bothering you so much then test.

[scared_me]

IS THE TESTING IS NEEDED FOR MY EXPOSURE OR THERE IS THE ZERO RISK??

[RainLover71]

Go and purchase an over the counter rapid test and be done with it in 20 minutes.

[scared_me]

I AM VERY AFRAID OF TESTING
I CONSTANTLY FEEL THAT THE RESULTS MAY COME POSITIVE

I AM GETTING NIGHTMARES THAT RESULT CAME POSITIVE

I CANT BELIVE THAT I AM STUCK TO ONLY SINGLE THOUGHT FROM 2 MONTHS

[RainLover71]

if you used protection you have nothing to worry about.

[scared_me]

THEN WHY I FEEL SOMETHING SWOLLEN UNDER MY EAR?
I DONT KNOW WHETHER IT IS SWOLLEN LYMPH NODE OR NOT
BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING SWOLLEN

WHEN I TOUCH IT I CAN  NOT FEEL ANYTHING SWOLLEN BUT I CAN FEEL IT FROM INSIDE

awww man i totally get you i'm on the same boat i went to vegas slept with a polish guy and now i'm terrified and disapointed in myself i got tested 24 days after exposure came out negative but i'm going back in 2 months and i'm sooooo scared. anyways maybe it's just anxiety i have major anxiety right now as well most prostitutes i hear get tested often so maybe your ok and your anxiety is making you feel all those things

The head of your penis was protected--you had no risk.

[scared_me]

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SEX SO I DIDNT HAVE FULL ERECTION
