HIV Possibility
Hi! I was a freshman in college this past semester. My encounter was this April. I need your advice and input please! My story:
At a party I met this girl who came onto me, we went back to her place and hungout. One thing led to a next and she was naked, I was in my boxers. We started making out and I was on top of her. Lasted about 10 minutes. She then started crying and told me to leave? Makes me believe she has a boyfriend. I'm scared I may have contracted the virus because:
1.) She gets checked every 6 months
2.) She may be a drug user (all I know of is weed)
3.) She may be bi (my friend and I think)
4.) I had a mild sore throat and swollen gland under my tongue for a solid 5 days approximately 2 weeks after the exposure.
-I'm mainly worried because the virus is most contagious up to 3 months of getting the virus and she said she doesn't have it, which doesn't mean anything cause doesn't the virus not show up on tests in that 3 month period of time? Could the bodily fluid in possible seroconversion have enough HIV in it to get to my cotton boxer lining and up my penis? Scared of that rare possibility but I need input!
-I did test negative for HIV 3 weeks after the encounter at the campus health center. The doctor said low risk of course and that many others have had closer calls than me and have come out negative. Most of his students on campus who have it are homosexual or foreign students.
I know this story is lame compared to other HIV scares but I just need to hear your input! All of my friends are fortunately in denial of me contracting the virus. I do realize it is a tough virus to contract too! I'm wondering if you think I should get tested again next month to make sure? Answers are welcomed and encouraged! Thank you thank you thank you!

But is the swollen gland and sore throat still to worry about, since it occured two weeks after exposure?
