no faith
I have no faith in the 3 month conlusive test. More and more lymph nodes just keep popping up ahhhhhhh i just dont know what to do anymore!!
Hi joggen can u explain plz!!!!!!!!!!
Its not that difficult to see or to feel the swollen lymph nodes. when i went to my doc i was 90% sure it was a lymph nodes in my neck. and my doc confirm it.
but what he told me that hiv lymph nodes are generalized not only in the neck.
and its quite large with hiv and mine is small less than 1cm.
but what makes the anxiety is My doc said that my lymph nodes is unspecific. So how can i live or continue my life with unspecifec answer?????????????????????????????????????????????
And to add more anxiety that i have read many cases of newly diagnosed hiv that they had lymph nodes in the neck only, which is not generalized
So its what i understand that its diffrent from person to person.
plus , some persons will have painless nodes and other its painfull,
plus, some ppl wil have nodes with classic ARS , and others no only swollen nodes.
plus, many ppl will experiance the nodes 2-4 weeks post exposure and in rare cases it may appear at 3 months(12 weeks).
How we can continnue our life with a non specifec anserwrs, FROM HERE IS COMING THE ANXIETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finaly, Some doctors will say 3 month test is conclusive and others say six months. also no specific answer
I have one doctor internist he told me ONE YEAR is the final test. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GOD ,
Whome to pelieve!!!!!!!!!!

The fallacy of self-assessment of lymph nodes as a way to gauge HIV status is one of the major contributors to HIV anxiety.
