Lymph nodes

Hey
7 weeks ago I met a guy who I don't think is Hiv+ as he always uses condoms when he has sex with girls and never swallowed sperm or got ******.
I gave him a handjob and he ejaculated on the ground, afterwards I licked his penis and swallowed the little rest of sperm which was lert on his penis. I don't know how much time there was between the ejaculation and my little blowjob bit for sure 15 seconds. I heard that the HI-Virus dies within a few moments as it's exposed to air. Now after 7 and a half weeks I noticed a very very tiny ball which I think is a lymph node under my jaw and next to/above my larynx.
Plus, yesterday Inoticed a fever blister on my lip, I think it's a simple Herpes Simplex, it almost disappeared completely. but that really unsetteles me.
I really touched and moved my larynx often for a week now, maybe I feel the lymph node because of that?
Can such symptoms appear after more than 7 weeks?
Almost three weeks ago I also had a little rash in form of big red spots on my shoulder, but that may come from may acne cream which I put on at this area way too much. And rash only appears with other symptoms isn't it? And I never felt sick or something

Because most people don't understand that the saliva will render the virus inactive BEFORE it reaches the gut.

Why does everyone panic? Because everyone is not getting themselves educated about HIV. You're the exception. You came to us with your fears and now those fears are gone because you got educated.

Just think how education would stop all the panic.........to say nothing of stopping HIV in it's tracks.

You made my day Ruby, I really thank you for your help!
When Hiv can not be tramsmitted by swallowing sperm, why does everyone who knows that have panic?

The line above should read......."There HAS never been a proven case of anyone contracting HIV from oral....."  Sorry.

Oral sex is not a risk for HIV because human saliva contains bacteria and enzymes that render the virus inactive. Exposure to air also renders it inactive and the mouth contains a lot of air. The virus would be inactive before it reaches your stomach.

You do not NEED to test, but as I said in my original response that due to your continuing anxiety, I would advise you to test for peace of mind. There had NEVER been a proven case of anyone having contracted HIV from oral sex. You will not be the first.

Please stay off the symptoms sites! If you have questions or concerns, contact us.

Thanks for your fast and clear answer! 
But I read many times, that Hiv is able go be transmitted via swallowing sperm? 
So I don't need to get tested?

Oral sex is not a risk for HIV but it can be a risk for other STD's.

It has been nearly 2 months since this encounter and you appear very anxious about your symptoms, real or imagine, so I would advise you to have an STD panel done for peace of mind.

It is recommended that anyone who engages in oral sex have an STD panel done every three months for prevention.
