uncircumcised male and unprotected sex
Hello,
6 weeks ago I had unprotected vaginal and oral sex with a lady. The next day the lymph nodes in my armpits swelled and looked like there were maybe 3-4 pus filled pimples 0.8 cm in diameter. They burst after a day or two and then a week later the opposite armpits lymphnodes also swelled up similarly. Now currently the left armpit has no swelling, but the right armpit again had swelling (3 or so pimples) and they burst (had pus in it).
The last two week and half I have had a cold/flu like symptoms, fever. Should I take a test now? or wait another month? Also does it sound like I have HIV?

I know its the most scarey thing in the world. I have the same issue with Prostitutes but i really want to stop because its not worth the Anxiety. Keep me posted thanks.
Thanks for your help scratch81. I shall be getting the test next week which will be 7 weeks after intercourse, so hopefully its not conclusive. I have told the lady whom I had intercourse with to also get tested but i am not sure if she will.
its a little more risk from what i understand but look if the person was hiv positiive your chances would be more off a risk either way. But still in yuor favor cause chances off person haveing HIV is very Low in the first place and conracting it through vaginal intercourse is like 1:2000 or 1:1000 so before you jump to conclusions consider those facts.
Does anyone know how common it is for uncircumcised people who used no protection to get HIV?
6 weeks is a good time to test
