Common Questions and Answers about Stiff neck sore glands
sore
I was sick about a week ago. I got a cold sore, was achy and tired, and had sinus pain. I had a doctors appointment for an unrelated reason and the doctor noticed the glands in my neck were swollen. I pretty much shrugged it off and witthin a few days I was feeling better.
Hi -
I recently did something incredibly stupid. On a post-breakup trip to Vegas, I had a drunken hookup with someone I don't know. I performed oral sex on him for literally about 5-10 seconds without a condom (not to completion). Things escalated and we started to have sex. It only lasted about 2-3 minutes before I wised up and got out of there, but he was really rough and I bled quite a bit. He didn't ejaculate inside me, but he didn't use a condom either. I know...STUPID.
I've read that stiff neck and swollen joints can be early symptoms of HIV infection (ARS).
Suppose they occur, how long after infection are these symptoms likely to occur?
Is it 2 to 4 weeks like Fever, Swollen glands, Sore throat, Rash, Fatigue etc...
I had a tight stiff neck within 2 days. (incident is now 2 weeks old) I have a feeling of swallen glands in my neck, under my arms (armpits are sore) and groins (sore groins also) My muscles are aching in the back of my arms (triceps) my chest muscles are sore and having slight twitches, i have a slight sore throat and a persistent cough (frog in my throat) I have had slight sweats (lasting only 10-15 secs) but no fever. My joints are aching and my back is stiff.
About 3 or 4 days after the event I got a sore throat lasting 4 days or so accompanied by swollen glands in my neck and a stiff neck and some sore joints- my throat looked red and whilst it was sore i wasnt unable to swallow or eat and I wasnt wincing in pain or anything, the next stiffness only lasted a day or two and the glands when back to normal after two days. Despite being on PEP I'm terrified that this is ARS.
Do you have a fever? Have you been exposed to anyone with German Measles and are you UNvaccinated? Have you been outside around anything like poison ivy or exposed to anything else?
Have you been exposed to other sick people recently? Do you have a sore throat, swollen tonsils, spots in your throat, or ear pain?
Sorry for all the questions, but the more I know, the better I can help you. Thanks.
I had a sinus infection that started out as allergies that I went on an antibiotic for the same day I came down with the stiff neck. I am pretty certain the meds did not cause the stiff neck but I am thinking more about the virus thing because my immune system was down. I have not been sick for over 30 years so this is very strange for me. If anyone else has had a similar situation I would love to hear from you!
in the followign weeks i had been extremely worried about having caught something, then i began having simptoms like stiff neck, headaches andmuscle soreness.
Then i began having testicles and lower back pains, as well as the inside of my legs right where the legs join the torso become stiff, something similar to a pulled or strained muscle.
I was diagnosed with Prostatitis 2 or 3 years back, but this time the symptoms seem much stronger.
3 days following the night out, I developed stiff and tender glands in my neck. These were less noticeable the more water I drank, and were not painful at all with a dose of ibuprofen. These were concerning, but as I had experienced swollen glands before with sore throats I wasn't too skeptical. The following weekend, I drank alcohol on the saturday night, and when I woke up the following Sunday, I had a large and painful swelling in my armpit.

Im 34 yr. old, healthy. 3 weeks ago I woke up with a stiff neck. At first I thought I slept wrong. After a couple days and still having the stiffness I changed my pillow. The stiffness continued and the soreness seem to gradually move from my left side to the back of my neck. There is areas that feel tight. During this time from the soreness to touch and pain when I turned it would make me have headaches. (which I am taking ibuffren all day to maintain normal activity).
After 2 weeks, White tongue, bad smell, dry mouth, sore and dry throat (feels like lump in there and difficult swallowing), dry eyes, ear pain, fatigue, stiff joints, leg ache, neck and back pain, light headache, cant sleep, some night sweats, 3 mouth ulcers, cant tell if glands are swollen (Pain in Groint), light fever and light pain in stomach.
In short > Cunnilingus with my cut lips and blood from Vagina with Vaginal Fluid.
What could be the cause, really scared about HIV.

72 hours later I was on PEP which I completed without any major symptoms, 1 week after completing the PEP treatment I got a stiff neck (lower back of neck) with a mild but consistent heache... a bit like when you sleep too much. My GP said that it might be from stree but it's not been like this for 3 weeks and I am begining to worry that it is more serious.
I dont have a fevel, or swolen glands there's no rashes or any other symptoms.
Could this be a sign of HIV?
I also forgot to mention that all the glands on the left side of my neck are enlarged. When I feel the glands in and around the rear of my neck and throat, they are much larger then that of the right side by comparison. I sometimes feel discomfort around the left side of my trachea. I'm not sure if the neck pain is related to the glands but I thought I would mention it. About 5 days ago now I had a very acute attack.
)- the cough and phelgm still continue
today day 24- still have the hacking cough with clear phelgm and tender around the neck area ( I dont think I have swolen glands but I really couldnt be sure)
I cant find any info on the web that puts coughing and runny nose as ars symptoms but it is definately clear that the sore throat and stiff neck are symtoms of ars, but diferent sites say different things, the yellow phelgm worries me as I read on one web site that this is a sign of an immune syste
