bad symptoms

hello.
I'm a bisexual man(was* because I don't wanna have contact with others men,never) and 3 months ago I had unprotecred oral sex and deep french kissing with a man. Giving and receving(oral). I don't think there was sperm,maybe precum,not sure. After 8 weeks I went to the hospital and did a hiv test witch came back negative. At that moment,I had some lymph nodes under the armpit. Now,are 3 months and on tuestday I will go for another test,maybe the conclusive. What I'm scared of,is the lymph nodes.. they are everywhere. I mean,armpit,one in the groin and on the neck. Do you think are because of hiv? (Rainlover,if I don't have hiv,do you think I have cancer?)I'm so scared.. too scared. I have a white tongue too but I don't drink much watter and I have the bilirubin a little big. Whatever.. do you think I got hiv from my single exposure? and there was not vaginal or anal sex! Just oral and kissing.By the way,he is seropositive. Thank you!!

I will go monday to the doctor. And on tuesday,I'm going to take that test. Btw,is dangerous if I have 4 blood test in a month? I mean,I had 2 blood test,one for hiv and another,simply blood test. They took blood .. and I will have another test( the third) for hiv and after that,another for cancer,or Idk :)) I don't know if you know what I mean.. and I was thinking if it's not okay for my body,you know,too much blood taken?

I would ask your doctor about it. I have a lymph node in my lower abdomen very small and redness around. I have folliculitis along with several ingrown hairs. They will usually prescribe a topical medication to decrease swelling and redness

here in Romania the theoretical conclusive test is after 6 months.. but Im sure they know the true conclusive test is after 3 months. And I hope they have good tests.

Since they got swollen,I didn't shave my hair under the arm. That area is not red and they are painless.. you can't see them,are small.. and they are there since August 25 :/ and after some weeks,I have the one in the neck,and another one very small but it hurts :)) and it's a little red. And yea,one in the groin..But they came first after 7 weeks and the others after 10 weeks! I didn't have fever.. I'm just scared of cancer. Since now,I didn't have problems.. I'm only 17. ghh,wish me luck..

Do  you shave in those areas? Because often times people who shave there if shave with an old razor will get ingrown hairs and those ingrown hairs may get infected, thus the lump nodes. If area is red then around the nodes and notice ingrown hairs somewhere around....then probably folliculitis

I can't guess what is going on but it's not HIV unless your story above is not 100% the truth. I don't know why someone says 6 month test...uneducated in tests I assume. 3 months for a risk is conclusive.

Vance,I see you're good in what you do so I do believe you! I will take that test anyway,to be sure.. even if I'm scared(and I forgot to say that the woman that take me blood,says that I have to repeat the test after 6 months. She's saying this because it's an old test or why? I don't think it's old.).. and yeah,if that test come back negative,I will be scared because of cancer or idk.. do you think I have something bad? 'm only 17.. anyway,THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

See a Dr about your nodes if concerned, you did not have an HIV risk.
