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".
those lymph nodes are not hiv related the lymph nodes of hiv will show with the ARS 2-4 weeks after infection and will go off after one week
and u got tested be sure and rest sure it is not hiv related :)
