My missus is complaining about swollen glands around her groin. she is generally run down and tired and also has some flu like symptoms. we wear protection and have done for at least 6 months. she is worried that she has an std after our doctor said she did not know what it was and reffered her to the sexual health clinic. i am now panicking. someone shed any light to what this is?she had a smear around 1 year ago and nothing came up. we had been sexually active not using contraception for a year before this. would anything show up after all this time?!so you are saying it is possible hiv???!!! are you qualified to be saying such things?

Just because the glands that are swollen are in her groin, does not automatically make it an std. she should go to the clinic by all means, but i would be angry with the doctor for not looking at other causes. swollen glands anywhere are generally a sign of fighting infection, i would have thought a blood test would ahve been a nice start.
