Hello, everyone. I am terribly worried, I ask anyone who has experienced such a thing to help me. About a month and a half ago I had sex with a new partner, we used a condom, which for some reason had broken during the act, such a thing had never happened to me. I was worried, but I waited 27 days and went to get tested for HIV, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis, trichomoniasis and gonorrhea. All results were negative. This morning I noticed that my lymph node in the groin area was swollen, I couldn't resist checking Google and I was horrified by the diagnoses he showed me. The most common cause is HIV or another sexually transmitted infection. I'm terribly worried, I'm going to the doctor again tomorrow, but I can't sleep, eat, function. Please help.

Usually, if you catch HIV, you have a severe flu 2 to 4 weeks after the infection, which you do not say has happened to you. I don't think you have anything, you're just very scared, and I'm in such situations. Go to the doctor to calm down, but, again, I don't expect them to find anything.
Hello! I want you to know that I went through the same thing, it's not always dangerous! And I read everything on the net. In some girls, it could be obtained simply from subcutaneous hairs. I had sex with a condom, just after my cycle was over, and because I didn't take a shower, I immediately had a mild infection with more white discharge plus this swelling. Especially the swelling went away on its own in about 4-5 days, I only put pads with rivanol. But do not be late with the doctor, however, the situation with you is different. I just want you to know that in most cases, nothing is dangerous, no matter how disturbing it may seem. Just a reaction against bacteria or something. God forbid that everything is fine with you too!
Thanks to numbers 1 and 2. I went to the doctor and he gave me tests again, because for the blood 3 weeks and a half it was a little early for an accurate result. I'm crazy with worries, I've never had swollen lymph there. I was also prescribed an antibiotic - Amoxicillin, and it dropped a little in size and didn't hurt like that. They are two like balls next to each other, one closer to the skin, the other deeper :(
