Hi,

If someone contracts hiv. Has it ever been known to have swollen nodes in armpit, elbows and behind knees for around 3 years after contracting it?

If clarity is what you need then it will be in form of a test result. Symptoms like nodes etc. are grey area.

In the past i have seen peoples replies from people such as teak saying that nodes would not be swollen for so long in relation to HIV.

Is this something you also agree with?

Assessing HIV from symptoms is useless.

Do you think the nodes could be related then?

You haven't had an HIV test since then? Well if you get tested now, the result will come out conclusive. Stick to an HIV antibody test though.

If everybody has had a symptom and a symptom is declared as ARS related, then everybody has HIV.

Again what was your possible exposure?
