I've had lymph node tuberculosis for a couple of months now and I'm on the medication, but I'm worried because the swelling in my neck keeps getting bigger, and it's pink too. It's also weird because the swelling moves from one spot to another on my neck. What could this mean? How long will it take to get better?

View allI met a 40-year-old lady in Dubai, and she ended up performing oral sex on me. I was wearing a condom, but at one point, I sucked on her left nipple for maybe a minute. I'm not sure about her HIV status; she seemed like a prostitute. I can't really remember if any breast discharge got into my mouth, but right after, I rinsed my mouth with water. Then, about five minutes later, I brushed my teeth with toothpaste and swallowed. I'm really concernedcould I have contracted HIV from this encounter? It's been 71 days now, and I had two different rapid tests, both came back negative. Should I be worried about getting infected?
Very minimal risk of you getting infected,no need to get yourself checked once in a year and try to have safe and protected sex

I'm a bit concerned about my HIV test results. They came back non-reactive after 140 days, but I'm wondering if that's conclusive. Is there a specific test that's considered the best for detecting HIV? Also, could you help me understand the window period for HIV detection?
The window period of HIV can be any where between a month and a decade. However, you can undergo an ELISA test or Western blot test which are mostly accurate. If both these tests are non reactive, there are high chances that you are not HIV patient. However, you can still undergo a routine test every six months or once a year just to be sure
