Worried about symptoms
I've used protection in all of my most recent sexual endeavors. I'm troubled because for the last month or so my lymph nodes under my arms have been swelling. I've had night sweats on and off as well. No other symptoms have occurred as of yet. I intend to get tested, but I'd appreciate feedback from anyone with knowledge on the matter.
Night sweats are consistent with many other viral infections, not just HIV. You might also be hot if you turned the AC off :p. I say this because protected sex is essentially zero risk, provided condoms were used CONSISTENTLY & CORRECTLY. If they were, you have zero risk. If they weren't, its' a good idea to get tested. Not because of your symptoms but simply to know your status.
