Hello. 4 days ago on Saturday I had protected oral sex with a man after oral we tried to have protective anal sex but he could not get inside me . that day an hour later after I brushed my teeth It felt like my throat was swollen I was really scared a day after that It was the same thing but I thought I had a fever I couldn t tell, and a day after that It felt like my lymph nodes on the sides of my neck were swollen I went to the doctors the next day I didn t really get an answer from him I heard him say some like a viral infection of the throat and that s why my throat felt lumpy he prescribed me benzonatate which is really for coughs which I didn t have. a day after that while I was walking through the store I felt just right under my chin and felt this small bump it feels about pea sized and is moveable and a bit tender the one right by it didn t feel sore or big at all (It is today) That night I went to sleep and woke up with just a bit of sweat which is sort of unusual or maybe I just haven t noticed it before. So today I m very terrified! although I have been since day one. I just cant get the idea that It might be HIV out of my head. I don t have a headache or fever but those two small bumps are still there and I still cant tell If the lymph nodes on the side of my neck are swollen although I am getting a shooting pain all the way up to my jaw bone from the nodes. Also today I am wheezy. Every time I breathe in I hear It.
