The only way to find out if you have HIV is to get an HIV test. It can not be diagnosed based on symptoms. The standard recommendation is to get tested 3 months after possible exposure, because it could take that long for someone who has HIV to test positive. In very rare cases, it could take up to 6 months for someone to test positive.
It sounds like stress or another illness may be causing some of your symptoms. See a doctor. For peace of mind, get tested for HIV 3 months after your possible exposure, then retest 3 months later.

You can find free testing sites in your area by checking the website hivtest.org

Just enter your ZIP code.

Also, your doctor should have taken your concern about HIV seriously, even though your risk of infection may be low. Consider going to a different doctor.

If you have a cat or have been around a cat and the cat cat has licked or scratched you or something, you could have cat scratch disease. I know it sounds funny but it is a real condition. Sometimes if you have a cat bite, or scratch or if the cat licks you, the lymph nodes swell or there will swelling in the area the cat bit, licked or scratched you. It usually goes away on its own but sometimes people may need antibiotics. You probably don't have a cat but this could be a reason for your problem if you do.

For a definitive diagnosis of swollen lymph node, i'd think u would need to get a specimen for pathology examination.
For ur HIV worry, it takes 3 months after the unprotected sexual act, for the test to turn out. To be safe, i'd try to avoid having any unprotected (or even protected) sex for the next 2 months, then i'd test again. and then after that u'd have to test again after 3 months.
U seem to be an anxious person, lymph nodes swell for maaaaaaaaaaaany reasons. relax!

Lymph nodes trap bacteria. If they are swollen, that means that you have some sort of virus. Your body is trying to fight it, and it kills some of the viral cells, destroys them, and your lymph nodes filter it out of your bloodstream.
Does it come and go? Or is it all the time?
Could be Mono, or another virus.

Swollen lymphnodes could be caused by a million different things. It is probably mono or something.

The "additional details" are a little more worrying, but could just be a flu.

The only way to know for sure is wait a few months and get another HIV test.

What exactly did you do that puts you at risk?

it probably is the weather, perhaps allergies?

If the doc says your okay, your okay. =]

it probably isn't hiv but something to do with eating right and getting exercise. eat all the right foods. if anybody you know has a cold or flu check with a physician

Maybe you have something worse. Or maybe your just a hypochondriac.

I JUST FOUND THIS ONLINE: TOUCHING YOUR LYMPH NODES 1 TIME CAN CAUSE THEM TO SWELL FOR WEEKS. SO LEAVE THEM ALONE.
