If you have swollen nodes for 3 years see a Dr.
Test to know your status. You want us to tell you that nodes will not stay swollen for 3 years due to HIV...ok no they would not. You have not tested so test to know. Just because you did or did not have symptoms means nothing when it comes to HIV.

If you want a further assessment here, that will be possible after you get your test result. I've told you assessing HIV from symptoms is useless. We can't help you any further if you don't.

* Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusively negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to action by MedHelp. Conclusively negative results or a no-risk situation will be based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors. Action will be taken as follows:
    * After excessive posting, a warning will be issued by MedHelp
    * Continuing to post regarding the negative result / no risk situation will result in a 3 day suspension
    * Continuing to post upon your return will result in a permanent ban.

Test to know your status.

1. Doubt your nodes are swollen.
2. If they have been swollen for 3 years then you have a major issues with them and need to see a Dr.

Had I been wrong, somebody else would've intervened. Instead of thinking this and that about your symptom for eternity, why don't you go get tested?
