Lymph Node Question
Hello Guys/Girls
I am sorry for asking questions at regular intervals...
Suppose i had a low risk exposure....
i tested negative via Hiv DUO at 15 days.
Now on the 19th Day...i felt a kind of a Pea lump under my left arm... it hurt a lot when i touched it....
I explained the situation to the doctor over the phone (HE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABT MY HIV EXPOSURE) ....he prescribed me anti biotics...for 5 days....
Now its been like 5 days past... and i still have the pea like lump under my left arm... it hurts when i tocuh it but yes it has REDUCED in size from what it was before.....
what i wanna ask is that if it was due to HIV (Swollen lymph node) could it reduce?Do hiv related nodes hurt?
Do i need to take any more test?
For the people who don't know my exposure...Pls read below..
Thanks
i will explain the scenario..
i was in an A.C chilled room...with a massage parlour girl in Hong Kong ...i had my back towards her as she was massaging my back with oil(massaged for like 20 mins)...lots of oil...then she asked me if i want handjob...i accepted it then i turned....then she shagged my penis for like 3 secs and then applied oil from the bottle and kept shagging me till i came....
now what i THINK is that while i had my back towards her (while she was massaging my back) she inserted her finger in her vagina and then when i turned she touched my **** (which did not have any cuts/bleeding as far as i know).... (I am just assuming that she inserted her finger in her vagina...i did not see her doing so)
cud she had inserted her finger in her vagina?
while she was massaging my back she did touch my balls a couple of times....cud she have had vaginal secretions on her fingers when she touched my balls? or when i turned and she shagged me?
cud she have had vaginal secretions that time on her fingers?
I did not notice and cut/bleeding on my balls....but it was itchy and dry...but as i had a shower before the massage they were damp.
Pls tell me what do i do?
is the swelling under my left arm...a swollen lymph node?
u cannot see it from outside...u can feel it when u touch....

Noone has ever contracted HIV from hand genital contact, regardless of cuts, vaginal secretions on fingers. It just doesnt happen. So there is no way you got HIV that way.
Never, ever, ever. You DON'T have HIV based on this exposure.
Plus, I think you are right, I think the duo test would have been positive by 15 days. Your doctor already told you this. Here they also say they are effective by 15 days.
You're fine, stop worrying.

thanks sooooo much for posting "your experience" one more time. it really makes me all hot inside...lol...NOT. good thing the room was "chilled"...that really makes a big difference.
a few questions raj...SERIOUSLY.
do you have psychiatrists in india?
do you understand these two words..."no risk"?
did you really...in a post above...ask, "do i have a chance of catching HIV"?
if you were at risk raj...i could truly understand your questions, fears, and concerns...i would feel the same way too. there is no way...absolutely NO way...that you cannot understand that your "situation" posed no risk. come on raj...what's the deal? are you for real or just someone who has a little too much time on their hands who likes to play mind games?

Davean is right. No amount of assurance from anyone on these forums will fully convince you that you didn't have a risk so therefore no chance of acquiring hiv. So really didn't have a risk. But so that your doubts will all be cleared go get a conclusive 3 months antibody test.
Ur not at risk my friend...i am at risk..not u...whatever i say here wont change ur mind..only a test will..so get tested..i have plenty of symptoms too...
Hi bhai
Do u think i am at any risk?
pls tell me SERIOUSLY....

Man...have a duo at 3 weeks...if u still have depression ..spend some more money at 6 weeks with an antibody....if ur still depressed and have got more money..have an antibody test at 3 months...then go and have a butter chicken with ur wife followed by a lassi..cheers..
According to some Doctors here in India... A HIV DUO TEST is fine after around 10 days post exposure and some say 2 weeks....
i had mine at 15 days....
any answers?

you certainly didn't have any hiv risk from the encounter you described. The swollen lymph u have, if indeed it is swollen, may indicate a problem, but it ain't hiv. You may want to get it checked nevertheless.
Did We Say that?
Everyone Has Pea Sized Glands.
Everyone notices the Superficial Neck (cervical) Ones and Often Confuse them for being Swollen, thats why Only a Dr. in Person Should Assess the Nodes.
It Sounds Like your Nodes are Perfectly Normal
HIV DUO Test at 15 days post exposure....as Baseline Useful but Too Early Really.
Usually 28 days is best for DUO
From Shagging via Handjob (i.e. Not even Vaginal intercourse)
You Had No Risk anyway

So u guys say that i have a chance of HIV? because i have a pea like Swollen Lymph nodes under my left arm and it hurts?
Do i have a chance of catching hiv?
I had the HIV DUO Test at 15 days post exposure.... was that of no use?

my swollen glands/nodes or whatever is swollen on my body started appearing after 3 weeks..it was that time only that i started freaking out about hiv...both feet of mine are swollen in the inside..i have got a swollen left armpit..feel like the palm of my right hand is swollen..got like a small node on my right knee..my neck is swollen at some 4 places..both the nodes in my mouth on each side of the cheeks are swollen...before they started swelling ..i had some pain like sensation and afterwards they never pained...upto now i have tested neg for p24 antigen at 5/22/42 days and got a 7 weeks elisa antibody neg test....i hope it goes on like dat for my 3 months testing..i had a high risk..vag unprotected intercouse with an unknown girl..as well as oral taking and giving unprotected...
On thebody there are just diagnosed Hiv Patients who Have Painful/tender nodes.
Experts say they Dont "Usually" Hurt. Some people dont get any symptoms!!
Reading Medhelp, If you do get them they seem to be Large and stay Large for a while. Without Meds.
I'm taking the fact Mine were Large only for a few days, Not all at the same time and they Hurt on/off over 3 month period as a "Good" sign.
My Test was Negative, Swollen Glands mean Antibodies WOULD have been present.
Also Ars is not supposed to last 2 months!!!!!!! usually 2 weeks within the 1st month.
Only my Pharyngitis started 2 weeks later, Glands at week 9 to now, wk 27
One dr on thebody says they can be chronically swollen for Life!!! and he's negative and has them

for the sake of answering your concerns on swollen lymphs, hiv causes swelling of lymph nodes all over the body, not just on one area. And swollen lymphs caused by HIV don't hurt.

You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
