Hi guys, haven't posted in a while and sorry if it's long but I'm really scared.
So basically, I recently split up with my boyfriend (i'm gay), and I was with him for 2 months and everytime we had sex we always used a condom. But recently I've had really bad diarrhea and a kinda bloated feeling in my stomach. Those are my only symptoms but i'm freaking out because I heard that diarrhea can be an early sign of HIV. My sister's friend has HIV and she said when she first got it it caused really bad diarrhea. But she also said that her lymph nodes were the size of golf balls! My lymph nodes feel fine.
I've booked a HIV test for Tuesday but I'm gonna be freaking out until then. Do you think I maybe could've contracted it even from protected sex? And is diarrhea a red flag for HIV? Thanks so much guys
