I think I might have had a possible exposure I had unproctected sex with a female I met at a bar about 3 nights ago. I was wondering how to feel your lymph nodes in your groin what to feel for. Because I have read that the first signs are swollen lymph nodes and my right groin area is alittle sore. Could anyone pleaseeee help

let it go man you will drive yourself crazy looking on the internet - I know. I've had two HIV tests over the years and a ton of anxiety. Get tested at three months if you are worried but chances are it will be fine  - even with an HIV infected partner (and you don't know she was) the odds of getting it from a single exposure are very low (see what the Drs on this forum say). But you did take a risk of getting other STDs, so always use a condom in future. It's worth it for the peace of mind. I am at the stage now where if I do 'get lucky' I'd never NOT think of using a condom. Always better to use one and have the peace of mind, I think. Stay safe

no way...it is too early for you to be experiencing signs of infection.  ars symptoms...if one exhibits them...come at 2-4 weeks after infection.

let me just tell you that if you prodd around enough looking for lymph nodes...you can cause them to become inflamed and swell.  STOP

you can test at 3 months post exposure.
