Worrisome
Good day,
6 weeks after having sex with a girl who got her period while we were in the act, I was wearting a condom, I began to have a burning sensation in my left armpit, only one armpit, not both. I starte searching in the web and found out it could swollen lymph nodes, the alarm went off, I got really scared. I kept on reading and searching for many days, I kknow this is not healthy, but did it anyway, I began to have this burning skin sensation in my upeer back, back of my neck and sometimes went down to my upper arms.Could somebody please tell me if this is ARS related or not? I am reaaly worried.

Well keep looking and you may find the symptoms all appearing even when you don't have HIV. We've dealt with this situation hundreds if not thousands of times.
You wouldn't get HIV that way so don't make yourself look like having one. There are more important stuffs in life to think of than something you wouldn't get at the first place.

condom PROTECTED sex is just what it says...CONDOM PROTECTED SEX.
you NEVER had a risk and do not require testing.

it could well be because of stress and anxiety. Try to relax. You dont even know if it is a swollen lymph node or not. This is a HIV strict form; therefore, if you need other advices other than HIV related, you can use other forms on this website. But as i mentioned before, you dont have to worry about HIV, and i really think you are having anxiety symptoms.
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I was wondering, could all of this be realted to anxiety, burning sensation in armpit (did not notice any swollen lymph nodeç) just burning pain, burning sensation in upper back, neck, and sometimes upper arms. I real someplace that it could be caused by anxiety, first time it has happened to me, could it be related. I ask this becasue for sevral weeks HIV was all I thought about an the only thing I searched on the web, got really paranoid. Coudl this be it?
swollen lymph nodes without any other symptoms are almost never due to HIV. Your symptoms are not worrisome of HIV. Lymph nodes swell due to many different reasons. If you are concerned about it, see a doctor, but you should not worry about HIV, plus you were wearing a condom. NO RISK.
