swollen lymph nodes
      #182095 - 03/24/06 11:41 AM

How can I tell if I have swollen lymph nodes in my armpits. My armpits seem a little puffy or swollen but there is nothing sticking out and it doesnt hurt. I can feel a bunch of little round things inside though. It has been six weeks since I had unprotected sex with a female. I am uncircumsised an the sex lasted for about 2 hours. Could this increase my risk? After two weeks i developed a sore throat which lasted two days. Now 6 weeks later I got a sore throat again but it lasted only two days as well. No fever though.
Could I be experiencing hiv symptoms. Please help me I am really scared.

hi

regards from india

Unprotected sex does place you at some risk, however the ODDS are in your favour of NOT having contracted HIV. HIV is hard to transmit,moreso from a female to a male.

As for your lymph nodes, well stop playing and pondering with them, only yourh ealth care provider can diagnose,whether they are swollen or not.

Symptoms mean nothing and should not be used as a tool to diagnose.

A test at 12 weeks should suffice.

Goodluck

Take Care

God Bless you

Stay Well

Love Ravi
