Hello Friend,
I do not think you definately have HIV. Do
you have any other symptoms at all?
Enlarged glands and lymph nodes are
symptoms that can sometimes be related to
HIV - BUT NOT ALWAYS. It is relatively
hard to contract the HIV virus. You need
direct contact of bodily fluids, and a way
into the blood stream. There are other
viruses that are much easier to catch,
such as Glandular Fever. Do not be
convinced you have HIV, because the
chances are that you dont have it. Get a
tested to make sure. You need to know
either way. It takes guts, but it has to
be done.
Good luck.

If your condom broke washing for 5 minutes
doesn't make a difference..get tested.
here are some early symptoms of HIV.
Most of early HIV is without symptoms, but
some people can get a flu-like illness
with fever, fatigue, sore throat, rash,
swollen glands and general weakness. Some
say it's like the worst flu of their life.
But many people have no symptoms, so if
someone has been exposed, the most
important thing is to get tested.
I have been HIV+ for many years (over 10).
As I recall, I had no symptoms at all
until I got very sick roughly 10 years
after I was infected, to the best of my
knowledge. So get tested...peace of mind
is not something you can live without.Good
Luck.

ask your doctor....only he or she can do
all the proper testing so that you can get
