swollen lymph node and rash
Hello,
After two weeks of having sex with a girl I met at a bar, I've noticed a rash in my pubic hair region and one swollen lymph node on my neck. The doctor I went to see, told me that the rash is just a result of follicle hair swelling and the lymph node is from shaving over and over again. I guess I have sensitive skin. I had protected sex; however, I remember that I touched the outside of the condom and by a careless mistake, I touched a small sore on my forehead. I was trying to pop a pimple or something at the time. I know that I went to visit a doctor already, but I am still concerned. Is this rash and lymph node from hiv infection? Please help!
Thanks!
