Very low risk yet I got Symptoms(FREAKING OUT!!!!)
This was my 1st hook up ever. I only gave him oral w/condom on but he came inside my mouth Condom on of course & it was in my mouth for like 4secs. I found this very disturbing and I got very paranoid because of it. When I got home I noticed that I had a little cut above my top front 2 teeth. It was a 2dys old cut since I noticed it before.
In 2wk and 4days after exposure I got knee aches and 80% of them were in the right knee (Could still run and walk just had thing tingly feeling in the knee and it only happened on the knee no other place expect a few little times I got a stiff neck). The day after, I got this like dryness in the throat which gave me this urge to swallow like when u eat not swallow saliva (no sore throat, rough sound of speech or coughs). These 2 symptoms would come and go, didn't last all day and some days it didnt occur.
By the 4th wk these symptoms were gone but my anxiety levels also decreased. I was still paranoid just less but I decided to do a full body check since swollen nodes is a symptom and I noticed I have a small bump above my adams apple. Its doesn't hurt when I apply pressure and its not red or anything, its also not noticiable and doesnt bother me at all its just like there.
In the 7th wk I noticed a other bump and its on the side of my neck a few inches below the ear. Like the 1st bump it doesnt bother me and no pain when I apply pressure. Considering the fact that its on the side of my neck it isnt noticeable at all. FYI when I got the 1st and 2nd bump I was perfectly fine in health no fever or cold expect the fact that mentally Im not that well.
PS: Im writing this from the 8th wk after exposure and I still have the 2 bumps. I have been very paranoid since day 1 and I can 100% assure that ive been thinking bout this everyday it has destroyed my mental peace.
Q1) Can these 3 symptoms be the only hiv symptoms?
Q2) Would you think I could be at hiv risk or its just my paranoia?

So than why do I have these 2 bumps/swollen nodes if im perfectly fine in health wasn't sick and no fever. Never had bumls around my neck before I believe so why now?
