A member asked:

I had a protected sex 2 months ago, then i got swollen lymph gland under my left jaw, just on the left side it's been for a while, is it hiv symptom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: A single localized lymph node is a sign of a local problem. I would look at other causes: teeth, mouth infections. However, it is a good idea to check HIV test.
