You say that a swollen lymph node cannot be identified by seeing or feeling in ARS. Then how do people say that they have swollen lymph nodes?

By going to the doctor and having the doctor diagnose swollen lymph nodes. Most people that say they have swollen nodes actually don't. If one pokes and probes on their nick, under arm or groin they can cause nodes to swell and hurt which is not a symptom of ARS or HIV.

I agree with Teak.
The self diagnosis of lymph nodes very often it's wrong.
Only the doc can say If it's or not enlarged and it's or not dangerous.
Bunt don't worry because lymph nodes are very common in the neck or the groin.

bye
