Swollen lymph nodes
Hello everyone
I am in the 16th week of my possible exposure (had protected vaginal sex) , and today I felt lymph nodes under my jaws /chin , however I can only feel them while holding my face back ( not sure if they have been the same from years ) .they are marble sized , move when squashed and not painful at all....
I have read on various forums that hiv positive people have swollen lymph nodes and this is really freaking me out
Now my specific questions are
1. Can normal lymph nodes be felt with fingers especially the ones under the jaw/chin ?
2. As I can only feel the ones under my jaw and apparently no where else in the body ,does this mean by any chance that these are not related to hiv as its not localised ?
Waiting for the experts reply .
Thanks
