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.
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.
so your "friends" have diagnosed you?
you DONT have hiv
I just received my 6 month negative..i had/HAVE all the symptoms! It is just anxiety, i thought my neck was swelling like a *****..and guess what, IT HASN'T! your fine!
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?
you have TWO TESTS that PROVE that you dont have hiv.
