Hi, I am a 20 year old male who is generally very healthy, but recently since i moved into a new college house I have not been doing so well. I have multiple swollen occipital lymph nodes and have very minor headaches. I have never had a headache in my life until now, so I am not sure if it is due to anxiety/stress or if it is an actual symptom. I do not have any symptoms of a cold or flu, but my doctor said that I have a white mucus-like substance in the back of my throat, so he put me on antibiotics for now. My question is,
what is the likelyhood that this could actually be a bacterial infection as opposed to a viral one?
Also, I had unprotected heterosexual vaginal sex/sex in general for the first time almost 6 weeks ago, so I am not sure if this could also be a symptom of HIV. I know tests are the only reliable source, but I am curious to see if this is one of the more common ones. I do not have swollen lymph nodes anywhere else on my body and have never had a fever higher than 99.6 or so. Please help me!
