Is there any specific ultrasound mage for hiv related lymph node swollen?

I'd like to ask that there would be some specific differences between normal lymph node swollen and hiv related lymph node swollen in case of taking ultrasound image.

I'm worried about hiv-2 type. I had a negative 4th duo ag/ab test 45 days after unprotected sexual intercourse. It seems that I have a conclusive negative for hiv-1, but worried for hiv-2 due to such acute hiv symptom as lymph node swollen in front of neck i have had until now.

Thanks in advance.

No, the ultrasound just shows whether it's a lymph node is swollen or if there's a growth that's not a lymph node.

Thank you fot your reply. I have one lymph node swollen on my front side of neck now. And this was not usually touched, but enlarged to 1cm with some pain 5 weeks after unprotected sexual intercourse.2 weeks have passed since I had one lymph node swollen.

If I got HIV ARS and my lymph node was swollen, could ultrasound image show some abnormal image, and Dr. would recommend detail check?
