worried here

Hi. My last exposure was 3 years ago. It was a an unprotected oral sex (i'm insertive). I truly understand that oral sex is virtually no risk that it doesn't exist like experts like you stated numerous times. 4 days later after the exposure, I felt something swelling on my neck(sternocleidomastoid).Very hard it just feels like a muscle I don't think it's a lump. I've searched the web for such swelling on the sternocleidomastoid if there is a lump ther, there is but it is underlying. I consulted the doctor of the city's HIV specialist and told me that oral sex is low or no risk, regarding the swelling told me that it's not a lump, i did not get a test. Regardless of the assurance, I was still anxious all the time. 2 weeks later I consulted another doctor, this time, the school doctor.She told me that it is a lump ( getting more anxious) and told me to use amoxicillin 500 mgs. I purchased some that day the result of my frustration was dosing two 500 mgs on the same hour and Im approaching to sleep. I was having trouble with sleeping for weeks that time and that night, I was febrile (37.5) only for a night though. the next day up until the next week, I experienced fatigue( I think it was really psychological because I was anxious all the time)

my questions are like this

1. Is a night only 1 night of fever a sign of HIV infection and it hit on the ARS period?
2. If I get a test, what can you assure me of?

hope you can help me. I'm 21 years old and. And I have dreams

Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. You never had an exposure.

Teak, How about my symptoms? they occurred on the third week after my exposure, or fourth week and lasted for 14 days? Lethargy is the only serious one. It went away suddenly.

Is it true that infected blood can get into the urethra?

hi. thanks. Partner said she has bitten his tongue after oral. Does that elevate the risk? I can't remember any cuts or anything that bleeds on my penis that time. Do HIV symptoms occur the at the the same time together? Mine: first was this swelling in my neck, 2nd week was fever(one night 37.5 about 2 hours with chills) the morning was fatigue, fatigue retained a week later on and day by day, associated symptoms occur like sore throat muscle and joint pain that really freaks me out for years. Ive also read in wikipedia that overdose of amoxil is causing lethargy and lethargy is the best describes that feeling. if you don't mind me asking is 1000 mgs of amoxil too much for an hour? the swelling on the neck, it's been swelling for 3 years now.

Thank you so much
