hie doctor. im a 26 year old lady and a few days ago i put on these surgical earings and my ears began to hurt and now i have developed a small lump behind my ear where my lymph nodes maybe. i have seen these on HIV positive people and im frightened. i last went for blood tests a few weeks back and i was fine. my neck is now a bit sore and the lump doesnt show unless i look opposite direction and its not painful itself. what could be the cause of this?

this is not hiv. hiv initial symptom is flu like. only for few days than it will disappear. the symptom you mentioned is because of some other thing may be some viral infection or reactive lymphnode swelling. thnx
