Worried on exposure

I had visited a CSW in South Afrcia and had received oral sex from her. I also had protected vaginal sex. Now exactly three weeks later, i have swollen lymph nodes on the neck ( two on my left side under the jaw) and one on the right under my jaw, all around 7 mm in diameter. Also I have sore throat for a week ( no pain, only extreme irritation). I also have a mouth sore ( canker sore) thats been around for two weeks. Im pretty certain Im on my way to being HIV positive. Is there anyway I will be HIV negative?
I have a wife and child and I can't sleep or do anything. Im really troubled.

Friend you are Hiv +ve ok..

And you know why you had symptoms because their are 1000's of disease , to which our body reacts with some common symptoms to them like swollen nodes, fever, night sweats etc ..

So rather than just thinking about Hiv consult your doctor for your health issues.!
All the best.

Enough with the drama--first of all you will be negative and secondly HIV is a chronic illness now not a death sentence so stop with the stupid remarks about killing yourself--that's just silly.Have you heard of ARV therapy--well it works.

don't come here speaking of suicide...it's very disrespectful to those here who either have hiv / aids or have a loved one who does.
