Peculiar bump behind my ear
Hi, exactly 2 weeks ago I gave oral sex to my boyfriend, and I swallowed some of the sperm. 2 days ago I found a little bump behind my ear. It doesn't really hurt, but I am scared this could be a swollen lymph node and that I might have HIV. He told me he is negative, and I trust him, but I am still really scared. Could the bump be one of the first signs of HIV?

Thanks a lot, I will definitely get tested in 3 months. The bump has actually gotten smaller after applying some triple antibiotic. I appreciate it.
Bumps can be a sign of HIV, but it would be a multiple bumps, not just behind your ear but also on your neck and armpit. And ARS came in symptoms not symptom.
Your HIV risk, as medstudent has stated, is verry low indeed. But you can get other STDs like GO etc.
So if you remain worry, take a single HIV test at 3 months mark to be conclusive.
Be well, stay well, be safe!
GOD Bless!

HIV will not reveal signs within 2 weeks. furthermore, your risk was very low risk for HIV transmission! just use condoms during intercourse. to be safe, you have to play safe!!! good luck
