Why gland still swollen?

I have a question related to HIV's lymphs node. How long do they last or they will be swollen forever? What if a person got test two times in the first six month and will be positive in the next testing? To be honest, I went to a doctor to diagnose those lymphs node of mine in my necks and armpit, and the doctor examined them and give me advice about them. However, the doctor wanted me to test again in the next three month which almost arrive soon. I am too scare because those glands has been englarging for more than 2months already. Teak or the other experts please help me.

NOT EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET IS RIGHT :) MOREOVER HIV HAS LOTS OF URBAN MYTHS AROUND IT AND MORE THAN THAT YOU DID A TEST AND IT WAS NEGATIVE SO DON'T THINK OF HIV GO TO A DOCTOR AND CHECK IT OUT

So, you mean that HIV lymphs node will go off after one week? Yet, why the internet source list persistent lymphs node as the symptom? They say that the node that last more than 2months could be the symptom of HIV. Of course, i mean i think about the meaning about the word persistent which is "longer than usual".
