swollen nodes

if you have swollen lymph nodes durring ars do they stay swollen for along time after ars or do they go back to normal after a couple weeks? and is it true that any symptoms of hiv you have after the ars period are most likely not related to hiv. do lymph nodes swell all at the same time with hiv or do they swell in one area and then the next until over a period of time you have alot of them.

What are your chances? You are literally more likely to be killed by an asteroid striking the earth. No exaggeration.

When I read through your thread, I see a complete waste of emotional energy.

Expect a negative result.

after ars and after serocoversion do lymph nodes stay swollen for a period of time?  i guess that would be during the asymptomatic stage. i never went through ars but i was wondering about lymph node swelling after ars and seroconversion

if you have taken any time to read posts on this forum...you should have read us say repeatedly that symptoms can never be used to diagnose hiv.  the symptoms of ars are the same symptoms of numerous other common, everyday illnesses.  

bottom line...STOP focusing on symptoms.  you have tested and will know your result soon.

NEVER take someone's word regarding their status.

you can test now...if you have not done so...and obtain a conclusive test result.

until you are in a monogamous relationship where both of you have tested...ALWAYS use a condom.  sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME.
