DONT BE ALARMED IF U NOTICE SWOLLEN OR ENLARGED LYMPH NODES, IT COULD BE SO MANY POSSIBILTIES LIKE, INFECTIONS ANYTHING FROM GINGAVITIS(gum disease), absess tooth, sinus infection, the common cold,uti, uri, or could be from some kind of inflamation going on somewhere in ur body, last and most importantly potenticaly lemphoma,luekemia,or other forms of cancer, but dont stress about cancer unless u have been losing wieght with no exsplanation, best thing to do is get off medhelp and see a doctor,thats y there out there,getting online and trying to diagnose ur symptoms will only cause anxiety,and exspeacially if something major is going on with ur health and u wait to long u would have wished u went to the doctor sooner, they are called M.D FOR A REASON PEOPLE!!!!
A related discussion,
HIV was started.
I haven't had an HIV test in a while (the last one was negative). But, I've had an unprotected sexual encounter a while back and a few weeks later, I had a swollen gland in my groin. I had an abcess in my tooth at the time, so I attributed the swelling to that and it went away. Then another one popped up. Then, that one went away followed by another one, which is now slowly going away. I'm a little freaked out and I'm going to take the test, but now I've noticed I have ringworm on my bicep. I've had ringworm a couple times before in the past (which I'm treating with antifungal lotion), but with the swollen glands and now this, do I have something to worry about?
You absolutely did not get HIV from the encounter you describe; CDC advice notwithstanding, a negative result at 3 months is virtually absolute proof you aren't infected. Your symptoms probably are not related to that sexual exposure in any way, although mononucleosis (often sexually acquired) is a possibility. Oral herpes can't cause lymph node swelling in the groin, or any other symptoms more than 2-3 weeks in duration.
The way to sort this out, of course, is to see a health care provider. You clearly need a general physical exam and perhaps some diagnostic blood tests. But don't worry about HIV or herpes.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
