Is HIV testing accurate?
by GRIDIRONCJ, Mar 29, 2009 05:04AM
About a year ago, I got tested for HIV because I was scared that I possibly had it due to having unprotected sex in January 2006. I was tested in April 2008. Came back HIV negative, so according to the tests, I was fine. Right now, I'm freaked out thinking that the test was false. I haven't had sex since January 2006. Right now I'm having these symptoms:
- swollen lymph nodes in both armpits (my guess, they're lumps)
- dry mouth
- loss of appetite
- constantly tired even though I get 8 hours of sleep a night
I was fine aside from the tired part up until Wednesday when the lumps under my armpits appeared and then on Friday I got anxiety thinking it was HIV again and now I feel terrible. Could the test have been false?

swollen lymph nodes can come from MANY different infections...the least likely to be hiv.
