Bleeding gums & swollen lymph nodes after unprotected sex -do I Posted: 09-01-07 13:45pm
I am leaving for the military and I have
to get a physical done I am so scared to
be tested for HIV
I had unprotected sex with this guy twice,
a few weeks after the second encounter, my
lymphnoids started to swell in my neck.
they were only swollen for a day and I
found out I was pregnant a week later. I
had an abortion and they took my blood
after they performed the procedure. Did
they test for HIV when they took my blood?
the second symptoms I notice was I started
flossing my teeth with dental floss and my
gum was bleeding is this because I haven't
used dental floss in years or is this a
symptom? I go get my physical for the
military next week please help!!!! I am
sooo scared , Thank you in advance for
your time.

Swollen lymph nodes can be present during
many infections including HIV. The only
way you can exclude or confirm
HIV-infection is to take an HIV test.
Bleeding from the gums can be due to
paradentosis. You can consult some dentist
about that.
