lymph nodes
Hi
i am a 19 yr old male living australia roughly a month ago i was a bit tipsy and had protected sex with an escort in canberra (my first and last time) i did not ejaculate and i did not notice the condom failing i.e breaks and tears so assume it was fine and i did french kiss her..about 20 days later i develop ed lumps under my right armpit i visited a GP and he said they were too superficial to be lymph node swelling.he also checked my neck and groin and could not find any swelling..i also asked for the test for both strands of HIV which were taken 25 days after and were negative..My GP also said that the swelling would take care of itself which it did...but a week later i developed a singe large lump under my LEFT armpit i think mainly because i irritated the skin and it had the same structure as the previous lumps
My question is would i be at risk of HIV infection as i am currently feeling anxious and nervuous about lymph node swelling and everything else a reply would be great thankyou
