There isnt advice to be given . We really just give out the risks . Which isnt a opionon it is a fact . But if your lymph nodes be swollen due to ars , they all would be swollen . They dont come and go they are there and then gone ... You are just paronoid and worried and over examining your body right  Noticing every twitch and itch and function . You didnt have that high of a risk anyways . Nothing we can tell you stay off the internet and keep your thoughts away from it and wait for results . Easier said than done ...

yes but i got these lumps on my axilla...which is a lymph node in the armpit and these lumps are from swollen lymph nodes.. they came back twice in the last two months

secondly.. my risk was a bit risky..since i got a little drunk at a party..i know i was with a girl but by morning she was gone and i never saw her again. dont remember if i was protected

scary i know but ive had a flu like symptoms a month later and i do have an ulcer in my mouth now also my body tends to get itchy..

also does anyone know if constipation could be associated with hiv?? ive had diarhea once in the past two months

i know people will say get tested...which i get the results back next week.. but any advice....

Lymph nodes are under your skin and you can not pop them . Proably a pimple ......

Hi there,

Can share what was your risk?

Swollen nodes could mean a host of other things, beside HIV.
