swollen lymph nodes all over body

Question

I am a 25 yo female whose last unprotected (vaginal) sexual encounter was exactly 2 months ago. I was just getting over mono symptoms and felt fine. Then around 2 weeks after last exposure, I my  neck and armpits had a burning sensation. About 2 days later, I randomly checked and my lymph nodes swollen in my armpits and maybe a few in my neck. These were all under 1 cm or pea sized.  A few days after finding lymph nodes and swollen neck (muscles in neck were sore and swollen) I got body aches or soreness everywhere and felt bad. About four days later and about a week after initial swollen lymph nodes I got more swollen nodes and bad aches in both of my sides .  A few days after that around eyes eyes looked swollen  and my eyes were watery with slightly thick drainage and prickly sensation over skin. So at that time, i got a hiv antibody  test (orasure advance) , which was 31 days after last exposure and 2 weeks after initially finding lymph nodes around the body. Test came back negative, which gave me some relief , but I keep getting more lymph nodes everywhere and symptoms. Everyday after initially finding  lymph nodes, I feel a throbbing or prickling sensations in places that the lymph nodes swell. They are everywhere forearms,hands pits, neck, groin, thigh, around clavicle etc. The ones around and in forearms are very very tiny but can be felt and none of my lymph nodes can be seen. I also have tiny hypo-pigmented dots on my legs and some on my forearms and My stomach sounds gassy I noticed these changes a few days ago. Anyway, last night about 2 days shy of 2 months post exposure, my ear kept making soft popping noises( very difficult to describe) and my ears slightly ache. I was looking at my neck to see if it was still swollen and it has gone down some,  but not completely. Soon after that it seemed that every lymph node in my body became in flamed and pinched all over. They hurt, not to touch,but the swelling made it hurt. That later progressed that night and I woke up to a burning sensation and redness in the palms of my hand and a burning sensation in my thighs. I was terrified. 
This is what I know so far about ars: It comes at 2-4 weeks post exposure and It lasts 1-2 weeks. They all come at once and leave at once and usually comes with fever, which I didnt get nor did the ars rash (I read the posts). I dont want to be an exception. Do lymph nodes in ars continue to swell in different places at different times? Would neuropathy occur at 8 weeks after encounter?  Could a Person go into symptomatic hiv phase after 6 -8 weeks of encounter? Test overule symptoms, but could I be more confident knowing that my 31 day results were negative keeping in mind, that I tested 2 weeks after finding lymph nodes under arms and painful neck swelling? I I know that I have a systemic infection, but not sure if it is still mono, in which one or two of the nodes in my neck used to throb everyday for at least 5 weeks. I am testing tomorrow at 8 weeks Post exposure. My test would be very accurate then.

Your spot on about ARS symptoms and when they appear and for how long they last and what they are.Your not experiencing ARS symptoms and yes your test at 8 weeks post-exposure will be very reassuring.Testing is the only way to establish one,s hiv status.All the best for tomorrow.

I am having the same issues with lymph nodes.  A massage would hurt terribly.  I've had ctscans, MRI's of the brain, a lymph node in my supraclavical region removed... and a bone marrow biopsy.  I'm scared of the results....either way.  Symptoms lead to lymphoma...but there are so many other things that are cause similar symptoms as lymphoma.  I also get migraines, feel faint, dizzy, tired, have itchy skin, sometimes my eyes feel dry at night.

Thanks so much. I took a OraQuick Advance (the oral test) today, which is the same test as last time and it was negative. Tomorrow I will get a routine STD blood screening (HIV included) as well and it will be exactly 8 weeks. I couldnt wait an entire week to get the result back as they still send theirs to the lab. Thanks again , Ill get another one in well after 12 weeks. Thanks again!
