Unprotected sex and now symptoms
So I had sex with a women who is hiv+,2 weeks later I developed swollen lymph nodes (still there now)on my groin and armpits...confirmed by doctor. Had night sweats, fever and fatigue. I began to lose weight after 4 weeks about 15 pounds. Took a test after 6 weeks and came negative. After 2 months I developed another lymph nodes in my neck and had a sore throat, fatigue and loss of breath. I then took an hiv antibody test at 3 months 6 days came negative. But lately I have black blister-like sores on my toes and have been experiencing fatigue and a sore throat. Does it sound like I have hiv? Should I test again at 6 months because my doctor told me to?

Your 3 months test post exposure is conclusive, you dodged the bullet, do not have HIV. Symptoms are often misleading and do not mean much, therefore do not pay much attention on them. Next time, never ever unprotected sex with anyone, outside your totally committed monogamous relationship
I'm just worried because there are lymph nodes popping up like this week my preauricular lymph node just grew to being pea sized so that got me worried and I can feel one under my jaw
Because you are unwell. Lymph nodes are designed to swell. Prolonged swelling can indicate a more chronic condition. If it remains swollen for more than two weeks see a doctor. But this is not HIV related as you do not have HIV
It's been 11 months since my exposure and now I've been having fatigue... Ive been sleeping all the time... So I was wondering if it could be the ramification of hiv?
You tested negative for HIV so obviously your problem is not HIV. There are a number of other chronic conditions that cause your symptoms. Go back to the doctor and get proper diagnosis because this is not the place for that.
