Please help me! Crying for help!

[The Boogerman]

Ok, I'm 19 years old. Me and my girlfriend has always had protected sex. We've been together for like 3 months, and had sex several times with a condom. Everything seemed to be fine, one day I gave her oral sex (for like 30 seconds)... and since then I developed two lymph nodes by my ear and another one on the top of my neck, both on the right side at the same time. They are kind of hard, maybe about a half of inch by little or less. I've been taking Doxycycl for about a day, and I'm not seeing any results. I am SO scared that it's AIDS or HIV. I'm scared to get tested. My girlfriend was diagnosed with HPV and had Cervical Cancer... but said that everything was fine. Can I get HIV by vaginal juices? I am soo scared. I need someone to calm me down.

I have been having diarrhea, but I've had it before we had oral sex.
and plus my med's cause it.

Other than that, I have no other symptoms really... I feel normal except for the lymph nodes.

What freaks me out is that the lymph nodes came at the same time... They really haven't increased in size or anything.. I'm just scared.. Really scared.

Someone please help me.. Could this be HIV/AIDS? or could it be another STD? or another type of disease?? Please help me...

I have also had alot of piercings... I had my tragus done... took it out.. and I had an industrial, and had that token out... still have a keiliod from where I took it out.. could that be possible to have lymph nodes by tragus and top of neck.

My girlfriend has also had tonsillitis, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.. My tonsils don't look swollen, but could that be a cause? We kiss and share drinks.

Another thing is that I believe I suffer from TMJ, my jaw also locks all the time.. could that be a cause? Some of my teeth are also sensetive to water, could that be possible?

Well one thing I do know is that HIV does NOT appear that quickly. It take 6 weeks to 6 months before it would even show up on a test. And even then you could just carry the virus and it would not mean you would have all the symptoms. So relax about that.

You do need to always practice safe sex! You know that, everyone knows that. Always know your partner's sexually history. I know someimtes you can get stds through both of you performing oral sex. There are over 30 stds now out there. So you need to get checked out. I really don't think it is anything serious. Sounds like a viral or bacterial infection. With the body piercing you are talking about I would lean in that direction for the problem. Just see a doctor and try not to panic. It's not worth getting diarrhea over or panicking. I am sure it is treatable. Your glands catch infection. At least they are working. Relax.

Do you have a family doctor, or a clinic you can visit? It sounds like a good time to have a little check-up and get all these possibilities straightened out.

You should not be embarrased at all to consult a doctor about any of your concerns, as that is what they are there for. Besides, now that you are old enough to indulge into adult activities, it is time to also handle the possible consequences that come along with them.

The peace of mind that comes from the doctor visit, is well worth the investement.

Dont spend another minute in fear, jump into action!

I wish you the best.
