swollen lymphnodes

hello everyone ,

i know some of you will find this story funny but am really scared. before two weeks i was aboutto get  off the subway and i saw a men who had really reddish swollen wounds on his legs, and when i was getting of i touched the bar that bout a sec ago he touched and i realised he had a tatoo of red ribbon on his shoulder which made me think he has hiv. with the hand i touched the bar i had a ring on which made my finger red due to rubbing all day long that day. istarted to think what if he touched his legs with wounds and then touched the metallic bar that i touched after him. anyway 6 days after that me right neck lymph began to swell i started taking antibiotica and 2 days later my left neck lymph started to swell. i went to doctor he gave me a stronger antibiotica and at last my tonsills got swollen and sometimes i had fever.could this be a ARS? do lymphnodes swell one by one?

You did not have a risk of contracting HIV, no you do not have ARS and no lymph nodes do not swell one by one.
