Cobblestone throat + swollen lymph nodes -- no other symptoms

After a possible oral exposure to HIV or STDs (I performed oral sex and swallowed the semen of somebody whose HIV and STD status I am unaware of....big mistake) it has been 10 days and in the past week or so I have discovered 2 swollen lymph nodes, one in the left armpit and another in the right armpit, and upon examination of my mouth, lots of painless bumps on the back wall of the throat that appear just like the "cobblestone throat."

These two symptoms are both related to the immune system, and I can't help but wonder if my body is fighting of some viral infection...(HIV HIV HIV HIV????)

I don't have any other symptoms--no fever, no discomfort, no fatigue, no sore throat. Just the bumps and the nodes (which are now decreasing in size). Any idea what could be going on?

Note: I recently got a small cut on my left hand and the cobblestone throat could possibly be in part because of acid reflux, post-nasal drip, and allergies, and irritation from smoke, all of which I consistently have.

Thanks so much in advance.

    Try taking DHEA and L Carnitine to see if its a virus.  If that doesn't take care of it, see a doctor.   Don't wait too long, as HIV goes into hiding.  Call the health dept. for free testing.
