As per my previous posts I have some serious health concerns. 

How long do HIV symptoms last?

I’ve has swollen nodes in groin for almost 6 months, after having brief sex with a sex worker whilst wearing a condom. 

What on earth is causing this?

    The early symptoms last up to a month or two, but based on your posts, it seems highly unlikely that you have HIV, and like I said before, I think you should be more worried about anxiety.

      Thank you. Yes anxiety is extremely bad at the moment, and I think that causes similar symptoms also. 

      I found a very small ulcer in my lip this morning (which may have been caused by very hot food last night) however it makes me worry even more! 

      If HIV symptoms last 1 or 2 months then these ongoing symptoms must be anxiety related......
