HIV 9 week test, pain in neck
I am a male and have had 2 casual male sexual contacts recently and am concerned about HIV or another STD. I had performed oral on both, the first with a condom the 2nd without. Intercourse with both was with a condom and I received. Below is my chain of events since...
Sept. 13th 2010 (first encounter)
Soon after, got bad sore throat\cold for about a week
2 weeks later Sept. 28th rapid and acute tests both negative
Oct. 26th 2010 (second encounter)
Had bad sore throat\cold for almost 2 weeks (beginning of Nov.) also pain in upper legs for almost a week.
Saw ENT on Nov 24th and got Antibiotics (take 5 days, but it works for 10)
Throughout month of Dec. have had pains in my upper left back (lasted a few weeks), also my neck has felt funny (tight, a little sensitive, possibly swollen glands), a weird pain near my right ear also has started to come and go (cannot tell if its inside the ear or in surrounding area), also have strange pain on top of head on right side (sensitive to touch)
10 weeks \ 4 weeks Sept. 24th negative
14 weeks \ 8 weeks Dec. 20th negative
15 weeks \ 9 weeks Dec. 27th negative OraQuick
Should I be worried? I feel as if something is going on in my neck area. I feel for the glands often to see if they are swollen, but I am not a doctor. It seems sensitive. Should I be worried about HIV or any other STD? Since I gave oral without a condom could I have an STD in my throat? Is it possible to get HIV or an STD from someones lube? I used my own condoms, but my partner's lubricant which was opened already. I am very scared and nervous. Today is Jan. 4th and I am at 10 weeks since the last encounter on Oct. 26th. I plan on getting tested again once I reach 12 weeks.
