Swollen Lymph Nodes

Hello,

I am having swollen lymph nodes (two). I had it a few days back when I flew in a long journey to my home country and now when I flew back to my residential country. I am scared if this is because of HIV.

I did not have unprotected sex ever (not even blowjob). Just once for 15 sec I had unprotected blowjob but I am sure I did not have any cut on my penis. I also had extensive masturbation recently.

Please suggest me if I should be worried and should get tested?

Hi

Frankly,

I remember it broke when I was taking my penis out of her.........I think it just stuck somewhere and when was taking out, it broke.....

Is it going to be ok if it did not break inside?
I am 99% sure it broke when I was taking it out as I could hear the noise of it breaking.

Hi

Why do you think HIV is low probability?

Just try to remain calm.  You cannot trust anyone about their STD status since no one can know for certain unless they have not had any sexual relations since their last round of testing.  But try to remember that HIV is going to be a low risk for you.  The main thing is to follow up with your doctor and be tested.  Life is not over for you, it's just a scary time for you.  It will do you no good to harass this woman further, you only need to contact her again if you test positive for anything.  You will get through this.

Thanks.

Another incident happened with me.......n this time too bad...

I paid someone to have sex......n my condom broke......I took it out right that moment and asked her if she is clean.....She said she is.....

I went to doctor and tomorrow I am going for tests...but doctor said that I may not be able to find about HIV as it takes atleast 3 months to show it in test results

I made first mistake in my life and I am afraid if I will get punished for it......
She said that it broke off when we were taking it out so according to her it did not break inside.........But I am now done man.....so afraid that cant even tell you. I m feeling like life will be over for me if something comes up...more than that....i wont be able to live peacefully for 3months.......

I am a well educated and have a awesome personal and professional life....but I made a huge mistake......I should not have done that

I asked her again and again and she said that she is very clean//....but how am I suppose to trust an escort......

What you're asking about is extremely low risk.  In theory it could happen, but there is no evidence or proof that it does.  There would have to be some blood exchange going on, but I would not even worry about this hypothetical situation.

Hello Shandy,

Thank you for your help. It really helped me calm down. One more question I have for you

I have read on internet that some people say,

one can get HIV through french kissing. They say that microscopic cuts could put you in this situation. I think everyone has some microscopic cuts on their tongue....

how true is it?

With genital herpes, it is usually the lymph nodes in the groin that swell.
This may just be a bad throat infection.

Hi, you DID NOT  have any risk for HIV from the unprotected oral sex.

Where are the lymph nodes?
They swell for literally countless reasons. And often they're not even swollen when somebody believes they are.


Your risk for HIV is less than infinitesimal. Well done for practicing safe sex. Carry on in this manor and you'll be safe from sexual infection.
