For Teak, anyone

Thanks again for the wonderful thing you're doing. You've helped a lot of anxious people, me included. I got my 14 week negative test results for HIV and syphillis. I would like to move on, but something is still bothering me. I got 2 enlarged lymphs in my neck under my chin. They appeared around 2 months after my risky encounter and it's now more than a month. Is it possible for any STD to cause enlarged lymph nodes 2 months after exposure (aside from hiv and syphillis which i've already tested for)? I'm sorry if this question is kind of out of place but I posted in the STD forum and I got no reply. I would just like to have an idea on whether or not this may have something to do with that regretable encounter or if it's totally caused by something else. Thanks!

See your dentist. It may not be swollen lymph nodes at all, but you do know whatever is causing you swollen lymph nodes it isn't HIV.
