Hi i am a 25 yrs old boi. i had a frottage activity with a friend that lasted for less than 2 mins? however. after that incident i am like down with flu and cold. i am having like a swell or pimple like thingy on my armpit. was i at risk of hiv? i have seen through online websites that say common cold will lead to swelling of some nodes. please advise.

i know what frottage is

hiv is transmitted when a PENIS is INSIDE a VAGINA / ANUS.

That could be due to anything but HIV. If they persist, I suggest you visit a doctor, but I guess they're due to your HIV fear like many of the cases here but I don't know for sure.

hi thanks ricky.
so does it mean that the symtomps i am having now are just common flu and cold?
i was so worried that the frottage when he was holding my penis with his together would lead to hiv..

Frottage DOESN'T count as HIV risk and you've read websites with wrong info in them. Symptoms are terrible indicators of HIV. No need to worry about HIV at all.
