Boy, what was your "risky encounter"?

Swollen nodes associated with HIV are always generalized. One swollen node doesn't suggest HIV. Also, If your nodes were swollen due to HIV, you wouldn't have to come here on this forum and ask people around - "Hey, *I THINK* my nodes are swollen" but you would have been knowing it for sure because swollen lymph nodes associated with HIV are huge and generalized.

you have a 13 week conclusive test.  whatever is going on with you is NOT hiv related.  see your doctor for further evaluation...my bet is it is nothing but anxiety!
