Fever is very common for ARS. But ARS is not common in all infected. But many oif them have.
Still I dont know how to identify swollen nodes. But if you press and play with it ( searching for nodes) it will swell a bit and may have little pain. ( doctor told)

This could be due to anything, but hiv is not a likely cause. Did you continue to engage in intercourse after the condom broke? If so test if it was vaginal -or- anal penetration, if it was oral just due an std battery. Take care and be safe Kim-81-good-night....it's late, i'll check back with you tomorrow if you add anything to the post...

Kim, from what i've read here this sounds more like high-anxiety than anything else. I went through this myself and sympathize with you, but try to do your best not to go through the next 34 days scarring yourself with reads from the internet, try to do as much as you can to distract yourself from this thought pattern-i did the same thing as you and turned out to be negative after all,as i think you will as well. Try getting a legit massage, seeing a movie,spending time with some friends, ect,anything to put a break in your current train of thoughts Kim.

if you haven't done so yet...please read my hiv anxiety post...and what frank just posted on it too.

i bet every time you read about a new symptom...you get it.

my son's experience has been posted before...so i'm not going to do that again.  everyone is different and the severity or lack of ARS...will vary.  

fear is not fact!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is obvious by your posts that you are spending waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time searching the internet for symptoms.

i'm sorry that i dont know everything about your condom failure...but if you did have true failure...you need to test...plain and simple.  the odds are in your favor but nothing trumps a test.

stop looking for things...just test so that you can put this behind you.

Okay so this was a relatively low risk Kim 81-i'd still say a test for good measure @ 3 months is i order just because the partner was of a high risk background, although i'd expect a negative result will be the case in my opinion. Take care man-and stay safe always...Try another brand of condoms as well for that matter-lubricant and the proper size as well my friend-okay good-luck man, i hope this was helpful...

I did'nt realize you were a male until is checked your profile-this brings your risk down to around low to medium depending on the risk level of the partner you were engaging in intercourse with and how long after the condom failed intercourse continued on. I'd suggest a test @ 3 months, this helps quell your fears of infection and will let you know whether you were at risk -or- not. Was the intercourse vaginal -or- anal? Male -or- female?

Regardless it systemic-all glands, all at once in some, but not all cases people may experience this once initially infected although it's not a means to and end-a test @ the 3 months mark can only determine your hiv status not any resulting symptoms that could be due anxiety -or- other illnesses.
-Was the condom left behind at with drawl?
-Was it broken?
-Was there ejaculate present?

If you have not been tested, have had unprotected sex -or- do not know your status and have been sexually active test once a year -or- after a possible risk.
