The symptoms you describe are not related to HIV. ARS, if one has it comes on 2-4 weeks post exposure and last 1-2 weeks. Your symptoms came to late to be related to ARS and lasted to long.
But I have also read that many HIV positive people have generalized lymphadenopathy after seroconversion. I know you can find anything on the internet. Could my swollen lymph nodes be related to the lymphadenopathy that occurs later in infection, after ARS? Or is 5 months too early for that lymphadenopathy to occur?
Are you self-diagnosing yourself? If so, stop. Wait on your test results.
I agree that I do need to stop looking at information online, but could you please just tell me if this is something that is likely or if you have heard of lymphadenopathy at 5 months before?
I am just curious about when that lymphadenopathy usually occurs, whether it is soon after seroconversion or later in the infection?
You can't diagnose HIV by symptoms. HIV has no specific symptoms.
