1) if my swollen lymph nodes were due to hiv infection wouldnt the test have detected antibodies at 13 weeks?
2) does lymph nodes stay swollen in people with hiv, how long does it stay swollen?
please respond anyone, this is scaring me. i thought i could relax after my 13 weeks negative but it just worries me even more when i read about late serconversion and still having swollen node.
yes teak i did test last friday and it was negative. im just scared now because i still have swollen lymph node and my troat starting to feel funny. i cant help but be worried with all these threads i see on late seroconversion. please tell me what you honestly think teak, you know alot.
swollen glands do swell at the pont of infection.... "POINT OF INFECTION" In other words if it is a non viral illmess, the glands will swell near where the problem is. I am sure you notice this at time before, sore throat, glands swell in neck area, not in groin area.....?
A viral infection, the virus is over the intire body, no real point of localization. Then you would expect glands to swell through out the body, not just in one location.
In a nut shell, I don't think you have an issue here. You tested negative, lucky you.
If you want to retest go ahead, but negative is negative, please don't keep this up 6-10 months down the road.
2. I've never had swollen lymph nodes.
What is with your other post if you are now saying you just tested last week and it was your 13 week test?
