Believe or not?

I think i am infected by HIV now. :(

My swollen lymph nodes in my necks and my armpits are not visible but they are bigger than general lymph nodes which are 1 - 2 cms (they are now around five lymph nodes). I used to have pain in my join at knee which were very bad at that time, used to have diarrhea which last more than a week and also i used to have pink or black sore and rash on my skin. Nowadays, I feel not good because sometimes i feel nausea and sore-throat and i have white tongue with these persistent glands and also last night i feel my groin and feel very hurt which mean i just have new swollen node at groin. I checked in the internet and i saw that I used to have almost every symptoms of HIV. The only want thing that give me hope is my HIV test result which were 2times negative.

Notice: My last exposure to HIV were in the end of January 2010. - My first blood testing was 17th June 2010 and my second blood testing was 20th July 2010 by using ELISA and MEAI (but i don't know which generation). Can i still in high risk?

ok, i used to think about it too. But after meeting with some friends, they convinced me that lymph nodes that were enlarged at those area - neck, armpit, and groin - are the most significant symptoms which are very accurate in showing HIV status. They told me that around 80 percent of people that have these persistent lymph nodes will be HIV positive when they take blood test. To make it more specific, there are two lymphs on each side of my neck (so, it means four in my neck) and 1 under my armpit. Those nodes have been swollen for around 1month to 2 months already. Nowadays, when i wake up, i feel very sick but when i start walking around, i feel that i am ok.

So, can u tell me the average duration that people with HIV start being very weak?

Believe me if my country has DNA PCR test, i will do it. Ok, now i put all my trust in all of you :). However, for Argentina2010, your neck swollen might be because your imagination but how about my armpit nodes? I am sure that it is not. I will go to check for sickness that related these persistent lymph nodes with doctor soon but not about HIV. Thank for your kindess everyone.

My friends did not diagnose me, but the lymph nodes are real. The more i think about the lenght of lymph nodes, the more i worry. I have read a source and they give definition of lymph nodes of HIV. They gave definition that "HIV lymph nodes are defined as having two or more enlarged lymph nodes that are not next to each other and are not in the inguinal region (groin)". Thus, does it mean that having lymph nodes that locate next to each other isn't the symptom of HIV? I know you might say that i am uneducated but of course i'm not a specialist. Thank.
