Please Help. ARS Anxiety
Hi All,
I am extremely frightened and my anxiety is high. I am an 32 heterosexual male. Over the last seven months I have had about 6-7 unprotected oral sex episodes. 3 were with strippers/massage parlor workers. A few have led to ejac but only with a girl who is not a sex worker. Lately i have noticed a lump the size of a lima bean in my neck and swelling in my groin on the left side. I also think the left side of my neck behind my ear is swollen. I do have bad anxiety and im worried because I'm in a comitted relationship. I do not have a fever but yestersay I started having diahrea. My last exposure was almost 8 weeks ago but I noticed the first lump at seven weeks. Is this ARS since my exposures were high risk? I've called several HIV hotlines and get differing answers. Please please help me.

Thanks for your reply. This is really stressing. Just to be certain 7 episodes of oral sex is not considered an exposure? Am i really just over reacting? Thank you so much again for you reply as this is my last post.
